Mosaic Center for Students of Color & Identity Centers

The Mosaic Center for Students of Color is one of UVM's vibrant student identity centers contributing a diversity and inclusive campus community. The Mosaic Center supports the holistic development of self-identified students of color to help each obtain their individual goals for academic achievement, personal growth, identity formation, and cultural development.

Other campus identity centers include the UVM Prism Center for students who identify as LGBQTA+, the Women & Gender Equity Center, and the Interfaith Center. All offer resources and host events that contribute to a diverse and rich community of empowered, engaged, and enthusiastic students at the University of Vermont.

⭐ Commitment to BIPOC

In 2016, UVM was the first institution of higher education in the United States to fly the Black Lives Matter (BLM) flag. Thousands of institutions across the country followed UVM's lead. After the first BLM flag flown was stolen, our community came together to hoist a second BLM flag handmade by former Director of Student Life Pat Brown and his wife Amy Huntington. The flag's display in UVM's Mosaic Center signifies commitment to honoring Black lives.
