Tonight, on Senior Night, he scored his first basket on the first possession of the game 🙏
The University of Vermont stands with others in condemning yesterday's violent events in Washington, D.C., and the attempted disruption of our democratic process.
A peaceful transition of power has long been a cornerstone of America. We look toward that on January 20.
