Prism Center supports and empowers lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer students, as well as students whose identities fall in between or expand beyond those categories. We work to create a campus community where people of sexual and gender identities can thrive.

Empower Sudents

We partner with students to build their leadership skills, expand understandings of gender and sexuality, and support LGBTQ+ student success.

Build Community

We create opportunities for all members of UVM's LGBTQ+ communities to be together, meet, and learn from one another.

Advance Campus Equity

We champion efforts to make all aspects of campus life equitable for, and fully inclusive of, LGBTQ+ people.
