Service is an extension of teaching and scholarly accomplishments. Although teaching and scholarship are of utmost importance, the SNR faculty recognize and value their responsibility to transfer new and important information to individuals within the public and private sectors. The staff of the School of Natural Resources supports and advances education, scholarly investigation, and community service. Although individual staff members are necessarily committed to specific responsibilities, projects, and supervisors, they have collective and individual commitment to assist and advance the School as a whole. As members of the School of Natural Resources community, students share responsibility with the faculty and staff for pursuing the School's mission.
Students expect excellence in themselves and others.
They agree to treat each other with respect, to be honest and open to new ideas, and to contribute to the spirit of the community. As a continually changing component of the School, students provide a consistent infusion of energy and fresh perspectives. They are expected to share their ideas, to voice constructive criticism, and to contribute to resolving problems, both within the School and beyond. SNR students believe that they are privileged to be in SNR, UVM, and Vermont.
