Dining with the University of Vermont

On-campus meals are provided by our own University Dining Services, offering daily coffee service, breakfast, and lunch included as part of your registration fee for the Campus Sustainability Leadership Program. During the registration process, you may elect to pay for additional on campus meals if desired. University Dining Services supports the campus’s mission to be sustainable and in doing so sources their food from local farms, purchases several CSA shares from the student-run Common Ground Farm, maintains a Sustainability Intern to monitor and foster growth in Dining Services’ food systems approach, and runs the Campus Kitchen Project, which is a community service and anti-hunger program for the people of Burlington.

Off Campus Housing

What is a Green Hotel?

A Green Hotel is any Vermont lodging establishment that solidifies its commitment to environmental excellence by achieving a rigorous set of environmental standards. Although each property achieves these standards uniquely, each conducts an environmental opportunity assessment, adopts environmentally preferable practices, and develops an environmental management plan that guides its efforts to continually reduce the environmental consequences of its operations. This statewide voluntary, environmental technical assistance and business recognition program, part of the Vermont Business Environmental Partnership, is designed to promote and recognize the work of Vermont lodgers who demonstrate daily that environmental and economic goals can be achieved simultaneously.
