 Hi, my name is Brian Holmes and I am co-founder of Citizen Cider, a Burlington-based business that makes hard cider. And also I'm a graduate of the University of Vermont where I got my Ph.D. in local chemistry and this is why I think you should choose UVM. Me and my two other business partners started the company from scratch. I graduated from UVM and was working as a research scientist for a couple years for a small company in Burlington and this opportunity popped up and kind of just swept me away. When you have a Ph.D. in chemistry you have a fairly developed background in a lot of the art sciences, physics, chemistry, some biochemistry. There's a lot of chemistry in physics and cider making, you know, and that comes into play for sure. I managed the lab, developed new analytical techniques so that's where the analytical chemistry comes in. UVM is a very important resource for us in hiring. There are definitely a lot of opportunities to hire talented graduates. Food science, chemistry, just to name a few that we pulled from up there. As far as UVM as a entity in this town it just has an awesome effect on all the businesses here, good mix of younger and older students and year-round locals and overall just a great vibe to it. If you're really interested in a great education and just being around a good culture, a progressive culture that has an environmental context, I think UVM is a great match for anybody who wants to have to find that balance of great academics in the natural world. You know, you work hard, get your work done, you excel at it and then you can go out to the mountains or to the lake and you can really just have the balance of that and it's a beautiful thing.
