Ali

Ali Dumeer
Hometown: Newington, CT
Major: Psychology
Why you joined Free To Be: "I felt that UVM needed more "out" Allies. It's one thing to say "I support gay rights," but it means more when you stand up and make your voice heard through social action."

It's easy to say, "I am too busy," but while you are "too busy" doing whatever it is, life is passing you by. I believe it is the busy people who make things happen in this world, and it is the people with time on their hands who complain about being too busy.

Major: Political Science and Women's Studies
