What do you like about being a CAT Guide?
When I was and underclassman and trying to navigate all the offices of UVM, I wish there was something like Ask UVM to help. I now want to be a part of that for new students coming into UVM.
The best part of the job is watching a student leave and alleviate some of their stress throughout the day. Being able to answer questions and refer students to the right offices each day is rewarding.
