In case of emergency at any time, night or day, call the Department of Public Athletics Safety at 802.443.5911 or at ext. 5911 from a College phone. Library Information Technology Services Emergency phones (push the red button to call Public Safety directly) are located in the main student parking lots: Student Life Policies Student Finances C Lot (FIC), D Lot (Atwater Halls A & B), Faculty Handbook E Lot (Johnson), Employee Handbook K Lot (Robert A. Jones), Other Policies and Information I Lot (Service Building by DKE), Previous Handbooks Q lot (Center for the Arts), History & Traditions R Lot (Ridgeline), S Lot (Bicentennial Hall), Middlebury Campus T Lot (Field House/Kenyon), Centers & Facilities Near Sidewalk at Twilight Hall and College Street, Track lot (dirt lot east of Dragone Track), Copyright Kirk Alumni Parking Lot. Site Editor Log On There are Emergency phones located at the entrances of most residence halls. There is an emergency phone on the walkway between FIC and McCardell Bicentennial Hall and near the crosswalk at College Street and Twilight Hall. To report a crime in progress or other emergency, dial 911. Be prepared to provide the State Police dispatcher with your name, a description of the type of emergency, and the location of the emergency. Dial 911 only in an emergency, which means you are in need of immediate police, fire, or medical response. All 911 calls from campus telephones automatically dial a Vermont State Police emergency dispatcher. Both the State Police and DPS receive immediate information indicating the address where the call initiated. While the caller is speaking to the Vermont State Police dispatcher, DPS is dispatching an officer to the location. If you mistakenly dial 911, please do not hang up, since all calls are "captured." Stay on the line and talk to the dispatcher before you disconnect. In the event of a hang-up, emergency service personnel will attempt to call you back, or if there is no answer, they will send someone to the location from which you called. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS: INFORMATION REQUIREMENT All students and College employees need to provide and maintain current emergency contact information and evacuation plans in Banner Web for use in the event of an emergency, crisis, or significant disruption.

  • Public Higher Education in Vermont Maximizing the State’S Investment
    Public Higher Education in Vermont Maximizing the State’s Investment Report of the Governor’s Task Force on Higher Education November 15, 2009 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS The Task Force and Its Charge 3 Executive Summary 5 History of Public Education in Vermont 7 Recommendations 12 Continuum of Education 15 Areas of Possible Future Collaboration 18 Conclusion 24 Attachments 25 2 The Task Force and Its Charge Underlying the creation of the governor’s task force on higher education in January 2009 was the stark realization that spending for public education is seriously out of balance in Vermont. The state spends relatively little on early education, among the highest in the nation for primary and secondary education, and among the lowest in the nation for higher education.1 In light of this, Governor James H. Douglas, proposed a 20% increase in his 2010 budget for early and higher education based on his belief that an investment in lifelong learning is an investment in an individual’s economic independence, and that Vermont’s public higher education institutions must be affordable and accessible to Vermonters who need education and skills to succeed in the 21st century economy. 2 At the same time, the governor sought to inquire whether the current structure, administration, and program offerings of the state’s public higher education institutions are appropriate for today’s needs. This led him to create ―a working task force with the responsibility to find academic and administrative efficiencies that will be achieved through consolidation of our university and state college systems.‖ Although the governor assured the task force that he had no preconceived notion as to what type of consolidation activities might be effective and appropriate, he urged the task force to identify ways to improve services to students and the state and bring greater value to the state’s investment.

  • Resolution in Memoriam Jill Mattuck Tarule Professor and Dean Emerita, College of Education and Social Services 1943 – 2019
    Resolution in Memoriam Jill Mattuck Tarule Professor and Dean Emerita, College of Education and Social Services 1943 – 2019 Presented by Kelly Clark/Keefe Associate Professor, College of Education and Social Services Jill Mattuck Tarule, Professor and Dean of the College of Education and Social Services, passed away February 3, 2019, at the UVM Medical Center, following a long and courageous battle with multiple myeloma, her third lifetime cancer. Jill was born in Barre, VT on April 4, 1943, and grew up in Plainfield Village, one of 14 students in the last class to graduate from Plainfield High School in 1960. After several semesters at Bennington College, Jill returned to Plainfield and graduated from Goddard College in 1964. She attended the Harvard School of Education where she earned a Masters of Education in 1969 and a Doctorate in 1978. Jill began her career at the Vermont Department of Education from 1969-1971, and Goddard College, where she served as a faculty member and Dean of the Graduate College until 1978. In 1983, Jill began teaching at Lesley College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, eventually becoming Dean of the Counseling and Psychology Division from 1986 to 1989. In 1992, Jill returned with her family to Vermont, where she served as Dean of the College of Education and Social Services (CESS) from 1992-2005, Associate Provost from 2005-2009, and a faculty member in the Department of Leadership and Developmental Sciences until her retirement in 2013.

  • 15! Phish—Comprised of Trey Anastasio on Guitar and Lead Vocals
    Phish—comprised of Trey Anastasio on guitar and lead vocals; Mike Gordon on bass and vocals; Page McConnell on piano, keyboards, and vocals; and Jon “Fish” Fishman on drums and vocals—formed at the University of Vermont (UVM) in the early ‘80s and became one of the most successful rock bands ever. Their success story is built upon a rare combination of raw talent, strategic business acumen, and various moments of rock and roll serendipity. An abbreviated synopsis of Phish’s formation helps to place their trajectory and subsequent press coverage in context. Recognized as the first Phish gig, Anastasio, Gordon, Fishman, and brief member Jeff Holdsworth played as Blackwood Convention at a UVM cafeteria on December 2, 1983. In late 1984, they adopted the name Phish, reportedly in homage to Fishman. Through this period in the early-‘80s they were also joined by brief member Marc “Daubs” Daubert on percussion and occasional guest Steve Pollack, “The Dude of Life.” In May, 1985, nearby Goddard College student Page McConnell joined the band for the first concert collaboration of what would eventually become the four constant Phish members. McConnell was invited to join the band permanently in September that year. In spring of 1986, Holdsworth graduated from UVM and left the band. With the departure of Holdsworth, Phish’s current four-member lineup emerged (Mockingbird, 2004, p. 5). Gehr (1998) explained that “Phish had covered several Dead tunes during their first couple of years together but soon dropped them to avoid the onus of being pigeonholed as yet another Dead cover band” (p.
