English & History 

I love to crochet native Vermont fall leaves to decorate my house with, play rugby on the UVM club team, and hang with my friends outside. A fun fact about me is that I used to play the alto saxophone and trombone in my middle school band (I was cracked at both, obviously).

Classics & Linguistics 

I like to fish, read, and study all kinds of history. Outside of that, you can catch me rewatching Gilmore Girls for like the millionth time, hanging out with friends, or taking a walk! I am so thrilled to be a part of this program and to assist transfer students this year!

Psychology & Religion 

I transferred to UVM in my third year, and that put me in a weird position for housing, transfer credit, meeting people, and trying to get involved so late in the game. It all worked out in the end, but as with any situation, it's always a work in progress. Keeping supportive people around me has been the key to my time here!

Art History 

UVM is my 4th college and by far my favorite. There are so many opportunities here that I wish I had had earlier, and I'm happy to share them with you! This Fall, you can find me near the fireplace on the first floor of the Davis Center on Mondays from 2:00-3:00 if there's anything you want to chat about.

English 

I love reading, thrifting, people-watching, and hanging out with my friends. You can usually find me in the Davis Center with a Diet Coke or an iced coffee in hand. I am so happy that I transferred to UVM, and I am thrilled to be returning as a TSL this Fall

Hi! My name is Isaac. I’m a psychology major with a neuroscience minor. I transferred from Montana State. In my free time, I love to play piano, rock climb, and ski! A fun fact about me is that I’m double-jointed in all my fingers.

I transferred from a small liberal arts school in Maryland! I like to read and go on runs. A fun fact about me is that I know how to tap dance!

Psychology 

I am originally from Vermont and am a psychology major with an anthropology minor at UVM. I transferred from McGill University in Montreal. I love arts and crafts, as well as meandering around town and campus. I’m very excited to be a TSL, and I’m always open to talking and making new friends!

I’m Jeremiah, but I go by Quenz. I’m currently a sophomore majoring in chemistry. I spent eight years in the Navy as a nuclear technician after dropping out of college the first time around.

Anthropology 

I’m the resident owner of the best collection of overalls on campus. If I'm not in class, you can probably find me in the Anthropology department doing geography quizzes or muttering about pot sherds. Ask me about my study abroad experience last semester if you have a lot of time on your hands!
