If you read it, you probably felt a little confused (and maybe a little angry). Yeah, it was a weird email, but here’s the real scoop on your UVM email address.

  • Your formal affiliation with UVM isn’t over. We’ll always love you.

Snape Always

  • If you want to keep your UVM email forever, you can. Next year, you’ll get information about a lifetime alumni email address (just like your lifetime AIM account, right?).

  • If you don’t want to keep your email address, just forward it to your Gmail account.

Farewell to the Shoeboxes

Posted on by

On Monday, June 15, demolition began on the iconic (and infamous) Chittenden, Buckham and Wills dorms to make way for a new residence hall and an expansion to the UVM Medical Center.

I bet you’re imagining something dramatic and explosive like this:

In reality, it went more like this:

The Shoeboxes may be coming down, but their legacy will live on. Alumni have been sharing stories and memories and you can too.

Leave a comment with your CBW memories or share using  #uvmshoeboxes.

For you, Class of 2015

sb one month

Yeah, we know it’s only been one month since you graduated.

Nope, we’re not asking you for anything.  And no, we’re not asking you to check your email.

feelgood1Here’s how we’re going to help.

Basically, this is all about you. Your afterwards is worthy of making our afterword.

Welcome to Boston

Posted on by

Earlier this month, I attended a great UVM gathering in Boston.  A perfect event for alumni in a big city to meet each other (and grab a beer or two).

We had more than 150 people show up, including a bunch of y’all in the Class of 2015.

Don’t fret if you missed it, there are more events coming up in Boston.

Don’t live in Boston? There are events coming up in other places all summer long.

Still figuring it out?  Update your info, so you get invited to stuff.
