hey besties! did you sign our petition at https://t.co/6x9JB7HMO0 and send it to your friends, teachers, parents, and your little cousin who wants to come to UVM?
UVM is faltering to fulfill sustainability goals set over a decade ago, and University officials have failed to provide updated data on progress they’ve made.
