The Vermont State Shared Governance Model

The decision making process at Vermont State involves a diverse range of perspectives from faculty, staff, and executives as we work toward our mission of preparing all students for meaningful work and responsible citizenship by fostering their intellectual, personal, and creative growth in an accessible, caring, and inclusive community. 

From the president’s cabinet, to committees and unions, these groups connect our community and elevate questions, concerns, and novel solutions to challenges that our institution faces.

President’s Cabinet

The president’s cabinet is a group of senior leaders that oversee university departments and serve to advise the president on matters of strategic direction, policy, and operations of Vermont State University.
