John McConnell is one of the sweetest souls I know. He is so encouraging, and cares so much about the success of each and every one of his students. All of the intensives are so fun, and he infuses our time together with music, laughter, and vulnerability. The UVM YTT space has to be one of my favorite places on campus, and I made so many lifelong friends there.
