RECENT EMPLOYERS

“UVM has always been a place I’ve felt comfortable calling home,” says Christopher Thomas Veal ’14, now a first-year medical student in the university’s Larner College of Medicine. As a senior biochemistry major, he presented his research at academic medical conferences in Florence, Italy, and at Harvard University. After graduating, Veal was accepted at five medical schools across the country—and he chose to stay in Vermont. As an undergraduate, he had developed a relationship with the medical school through research and through founding a chapter of the Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students.

That “established commitment to diversity and inclusion made it easy to stay here,” he says.
