| Totality 2024 and Eclipse Safety

The skies were clear on Monday, April 8, 2024, and most of the UVM community only had to step outside around 3:26 p.m. to view the unique spectacle of the total solar eclipse. For weeks leading up to the event, eclipse glasses were dispensed in the thousands around campus and safety information was shared around the globe by medical experts, including those on our campus.
