Meet Kristina Pisanelli ‘97, Young Alumni Co-Vice ChairI come from a long line of UVM fans. Starting even before I was born, multiple generations of my family attended the University, contributed to its well-being long after graduation, and continually spoke highly of its many attributes. Meet Jillian Giardina ‘03, Young Alumni Co-Vice ChairAlthough I have only been gone a year, I think its safe to say my four years at UVM were possibly the most instrumental in my life - not only did I grow as a person, but I also grew as a student. I learned that the learning process never ends, and that regardless of where you are, UVM will always be a large part of your life.

Anna Borofsky is standing in the middle of a sea of trash at a former air force base in northern Maine. The 1999 UVM graduate is about to spend the next seven hours orchestrating the cleanup of 700 tons of garbage produced by 70,000 Phish fans. It’s moments like these that the co-owner of Clean Vibes, an environmentally conscious concert-cleanup company in Portsmouth, N.H, wonders how her profession relates to her undergraduate thesis on environmental education. If her ecological mission was having such an impact on young concertgoers, why was she knee-deep in enough refuse to fill a city dump?
