Emily Adler                                            '16

I was a part of UVMFSC during my 3 years at UVM (2013-2016), and it was the best little skating community! I had transferred to UVM after my freshman year after missing skating direly from my previous school, and I was welcomed with open arms to UVMFSC. I was on the synchro team and also participated in a couple freestyle competitions. Skating has always and will always be a passion of mine, and it was so wonderful to share that passion with a group of equally passionate, silly, fun, and down to earth skaters. I recently moved to Anchorage, Alaska, partly because I fell in love with skating on wild ice! I work in the environmental field, and skate for fun on my time off. 

Kate Mitchell                                      '17

UVMFSC was an incredibly important part of my time at UVM. It gave me a way to keep skating competitively, which had been a huge part of my life before college, while also giving me time to try other activities and participate in campus life in other ways. My UVMFSC teammates were an amazing community. I was also lucky enough to spend two years on the team with my sister! I'm now living in Boston and working in a museum education and visitor services role at the Boston Public Library.
