On July 1, 2018, Johnson State College and Lyndon State College joined to become Northern Vermont University, a two-campus institution of higher education that combines the best of our nationally recognized liberal arts and professional programs. Northern Vermont University-Lyndon and Northern Vermont University-Johnson are critical components of Vermont's higher-education infrastructure. Together they enroll nearly 2,300 students annually, and are main economic drivers and cultural centers in the northern tier of Vermont.

Northern Vermont University (NVU) is a thriving, learning, and living community dedicated to honoring the diversity of its students, faculty, and staff, and investing in their commitment to lifelong learning, personal well-being, and success.

Demonstrated through our actions and beliefs we are committed to:

• A community where freedom of expression is protected; differences in others' ideas, values, and experiences are respected; and where civility is positively affirmed.
• A community where curiosity, critical thinking and thoughtful questions are celebrated as meaningful contributions to the learning environment.
• A community that demonstrates compassion and responsibility through service and involvement within our campuses and our surrounding communities.
• A community where individuals accept their obligations to the group and respect the rights and property of others.
