Welcome to Afterword! We’re so glad you’re here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We know it\u2019s only been a month since you graduated, and you aren\u2019t feeling nostalgic for UVM yet…<\/p>\n

Or maybe you are nostalgic<\/em><\/strong> because the \u2018real world\u2019 is happening now. Some next level Sunday Scaries, if you ask us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But first, you are probably wondering what this blog is all about.<\/p>\n

Well, contrary to popular UVM lore \u2013 we\u2019re not asking you for anything<\/strong>. This isn\u2019t a secret trick to ask you for money or barrage your inbox with useless information.<\/p>\n

This blog is the afterword to your UVM story.<\/strong> We\u2019re here to keep you connected to UVM, Burlington, and to your classmates. And, we\u2019re here to help you write your next chapter.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re recent grads like you.<\/a> We work at the UVM Foundation and Alumni Association and our job is to help you.<\/p>\n

Unlike your parents, we don\u2019t expect you to know everything right now. You\u2019re under a lot of pressure to plan the rest of your life (whether you have a job, a place to live, or neither) and we want to give you a place to feel at home<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We\u2019ve been doing this for the past three years with the Classes of 2015, 2016, and 2017 so we are really excited to talk to you, get to know you all, and be as helpful as we can.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, during Senior Week, we set up shop in Alumni House and asked many of you a few questions about your upcoming year<\/strong>, and recorded your answers with a professional podcasting microphone. Pretty neat.<\/p>\n

Post-grad life is often very uncertain, and the reality sets in quickly that you are now really in charge of your life. Luckily, your classmates all feel the same way. And trust us, not everyone has a plan yet for what they are going to do next.<\/p>\n

So take a minute and listen below to hear your classmates\u2019 answers recorded live during senior week. Enjoy!<\/strong><\/p>\n
