VP Megan Camp wins UVM Alumni Achievement Award

On September 25, 2025, the University of Vermont honored Megan Camp, Shelburne Farms Executive Vice President and Program Director, with its annual award for an alumni who is “nationally and internationally recognized for outstanding contributions to their profession or life’s work.” For Megan, that’s one and the same: education for sustainability.  

“For more than four decades,” stated UVM at the award ceremony, “she has been at the heart of Shelburne Farms’ growth and impact, shaping it into a hub of learning and collaboration for educators from Vermont and far beyond.” UVM continued, “Megan has guided the Farm’s education initiatives, including the renowned Institute for Sustainable Schools and Vermont’s pioneering Farm to School programs… that have influenced education policy, inspired thousands of educators, and promoted the long-term wellness of people and planet.”

“Education is at the heart of who I am,” Megan reflected, “and I still believe that it’s one of the most powerful tools we have to transform society. When learners see themselves as part of a larger community, they begin to imagine new possibilities—and take action for a more just and sustainable future.” She sums up, “This award is a recognition of an entire community of people dedicated to this vision. It is a celebration of education, collaboration, and hope for the future.”

We’re proud of this recognition for Megan and for all that Shelburne Farms has accomplished under her leadership.
