## Resource

Vermont Law and Graduate School welcomes its new president, Melissa Hoffer, a seasoned climate policy leader with deep roots in environmental litigation and public service. Hoffer, formerly Massachusetts’ climate chief and an EPA veteran, officially steps into the role on December 1st — following over a year of interim leadership under Deans Beth McCormack and Dan Bromberg. The board praised her vision as a perfect fit for VLGS’s mission to train future leaders in environmental and public interest law. Hoffer, who holds degrees from Hampshire College, UMass, and Northeastern University School of Law, is thrilled to join an institution with a powerful legacy — and ready to build on it to tackle today’s biggest challenges.
