Ramaley became the 24th President of the University of Vermont in 1997, having served for seven years as President and professor of biology at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. Her tenure at PSU was marked by a reinvigoration of the University's urban mission through the forging of community-university partnerships. As a result, service-learning has been infused throughout the curriculum at PSU and promotion and tenure policies for faculty have been revised to recognize and reward community-based scholarship. In her inaugural speech at the University of Vermont, Dr. Ramaley conveyed her passion for the public purpose of higher education by remarking, "We must prepare our students to exercise their responsibilities as citizens. Furthermore, we must demonstrate by our own conduct, the civic responsibility that we must exercise as a community of scholars. Increasingly, we are challenged to draw on our intellectual resources to understand and address the problems of contemporary society and to strengthen our role of "university as citizen." Through public service and civic involvement, we also provide our students with excellent learning opportunities." Ramaley received her bachelor's degree from Swarthmore College in 1963 and conducted her graduate studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she earned a doctorate in 1966. Ramaley has a special interest in higher-education reform and has been nationally recognized for her leadership in defining and modeling the concept of the "engaged university." She is a member of the Kellogg Commission on the Future of the State and Land Grant Universities and chair of National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges' Commission on the Urban Agenda. .
