The Prism Center is so excited to be hosting a series of affinity spaces for our LGBTQIA2S+ UVM student community this year! This affinity space meets once a month as an opportunity for Bisexual, Pansexual, and other students who identify with middle sexuality to gather socially in community with one another and have thoughtful conversations about their experiences centered on specific topics.
They’ll be meeting on Wednesdays 9/30, 10/28, and 12/2 from 3:30-4:30pm. Our first meeting will be in-person and the rest will be virtual.

This survey is for Cooperative Extension educators and specialists, consultants, and staff of agencies and nonprofits, as well as others who work with farmer-owned or farmer-led enterprises such as value or supply chains, cooperatives, food hubs, and the like.
A complex array of challenges such as changing consumer demand, online purchasing, global food supply chains, weather-related issues, government-negotiated trade deals, COVID-19, and other issues are putting tremendous stresses on farmers and their organizations. We are interested in learning about the specific challenges your farm group(s) face, and your personal interest in receiving no-fee, in-service training in strategic business planning for farmer-owned or -led enterprises.
The information you provide will be used to inform the development and implementation of professional development programs. If you work with more than one farmer enterprise you can complete separate surveys regarding each. If they have similar challenges then you can just complete one survey on behalf of all of them.
This survey is voluntary and anonymous (unless you decide to share contact information). It should take less than 5 minutes to complete. Thank you for your participation!

I’m excited to share that we have now launched our application for our Summer 2021 Internship Program. Students will now be able to use one application to apply for both our Summer Program and our current opportunities (i.e., full and part-time jobs, fall / spring internships, etc.).
Another exciting development at LifeSci NYC is that we have scheduled Virtual Info Sessions that are open to interested students from all universities. The schedule and links for these sessions are as follows:
We will also soon be posting recordings on our website so that students unable to attend one of the above sessions may learn about our program at their own convenience. I will be sure to send you links once they are available.
While each of our live virtual sessions will include an opportunity for Q&A, we will also be offering virtual office hours so that students with additional questions after attending a live or recorded session may make an appointment to chat for a few minutes with me or our Program Coordinator, Kaylynn Mayo.
As a final note, I offer a reminder that students will only be able to access our list of available summer opportunities once they have completed their comprehensive online application. Students wishing to apply for current opportunities, however, may view them HERE, and will be directed to our online application should they wish to apply.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Best regards,
Sharon

Dear community, friends and colleagues,
The Mosaic Center for Students of Color (MCSC) is honored to facilitate our mission to serve you, our broad, diverse and complex community of color here at The University of Vermont (UVM). Our communication mechanisms, including The Scoop, social media, posters and flyers in and around the Center, etc, share information about the broadest possible range of University sanctioned information and offerings that might appeal to individuals and/or groups that are a part of our community.
We understand that there might be divergent needs and opinions about items that might be publicized and we hope that there will be, at a minimum, tolerance for our different perspectives and necessities. The staff of the MCSC does not necessarily support the views of every item that might be shared through our outlets but, as long as said programs/events are UVM-affiliated, we believe it should be communicated to our audience as well.
The MCSC staff alone, in collaboration with University officials, has the authority to declare whether or not certain information is shared from this space via The Scoop, social media, flyers/posters, etc. We are happy to entertain conversations, questions and/or concerns regarding any material but, reserve the right to make the final decision about what can be shared and in what manner.
Our goal is to hold space so that each of us, with our similarities and differences, can make a home within The MCSC.
Please help us make this goal a reality. Bring your respect, courage and aspiration for the beautiful community to the work of co-creating an environment where we can all belong.
With love,
The MCSC Team
