The first formal instruction in civil engineering can be traced to the appointment, in 1829, of George Russell Huntington as professor of Mathematics and Civil Engineering. Besides Mr. Huntington, who graduated from UVM in 1826, another early graduate, Mr. Anson Hathon, an 1827 graduate, became the city surveyor for the City of Detroit. It is in the proud tradition of these early civil engineers at UVM that we place an emphasis on a strong, professionally focused undergraduate program.
