The spirit of The Vermont Connection and the community that comes with it continues to support our publication of each TVC journal. We extend gratitude to the current HESA students and alumnx who participated in the production and editing processes of the journal. Without their constructive feedback and affirmation of the journal submissions, the 43rd Journal would have not been possible. We also want to thank librarian Donna O’Malley for her support in streamlining and continuously improving the journal production process. A special thank you goes to Chantel J. Vereen (HESA ‘21) and Janelle Raymundo (HESA ‘21) for offering their gifts in the form of a compelling foreword and reflection for the journal. We would like to express our greatest appreciation to our HESA faculty — Dr. Jason C. Garvey, Dr. Tracy Arámbula Ballysingh, and Dr. Tiffanie Spencer. TVC has greatly benefited from the support and encouragement of our faculty year after year. Thank you to Larry Long, Jilliene Rodriguez (HESA ‘12), Joe Russell, Laura Engelken (HESA ‘96), and Dolan (HESA ‘13) for their guidance and mentorship through teaching various courses for both cohorts this academic year. We are also grateful for Dr. Pamela K. Gardner (HESA ‘85) who has continued the tradition of coordinating professional development for graduating members of the HESA program. We owe our deepest gratitude to Chris Caswell, the HESA Office Program Support Generalist, for ensuring that everything related to HESA runs smoothly behind the scenes. We are especially grateful to Kunie Renaud and Chris Caswell for providing financial • 263 oversight and recommendations. We are very grateful for Dolan (HESA ‘13) who has extensively supported HESA through coordinating Visit Days this year. We appreciate Lexi Kane (HESA ‘23), Annamaria Cavaleri (HESA ‘23), and Tatiana Havens (HESA ‘22) who have also provided tremendous support in all things related to HESA recruitment, including the HESA Booklet, Google Hangouts, and Visit Days. We are also appreciative of the many practitioners across the University of Vermont campus and beyond who provide guidance, support, and mentorship as supervisors in our practica, assistantship, and/or professional roles. During Phone-A-Thon this year, TVC raised more than $10,000. The funds will enable relevant social, educational, and professional development opportunities for current and future HESA students as well as support the following year’s journal. Also, these funds will continue to allow the HESA program to center anti racism initiatives in its practice. We thank Danielle Aguilar (HESA ‘14) for her antiracist consultation work for our program during summer 2021. We are extremely grateful to every alumnx, friend, and supporter of the HESA program who made a contribution to this year’s drive. We would also like to thank the UVM Foundation, especially Kevin Morgenstein Fuerst, Lori McPeters, and Kathryn Meader (UVM ‘15) for guiding and supporting our fundraising efforts throughout Phone-A-Thon and beyond. We would like to particularly thank the Membership & Community Development (MCD) Chair Max Cordes Galbraith (HESA ‘22) for devoting his energy and love into building community amongst current HESA students. We additionally thank TVC 42 Executive Board for sharing their wisdom with us and for laying a foundation for a successful year. Last but not least, we want to extend our utmost gratitude to you for being part of The Vermont Connection. As an Executive Board, we look forward to the future of the HESA program and its contributions to the world, and we are deeply appreciative of the collective work put into creating The Vermont Connection.  (...truncated)
