What he gained from a liberal arts education: “Studying the liberal arts at UVM gave me a lot of skills, but the most important was how to write both academically and professionally. In addition, in my career I often have to learn—virtually overnight!—everything about a topic I’ve never heard of, and that’s a skill a liberal arts education really cultivates. Best of all, it meant I had the freedom to explore what interested me and chart my own course.”
