Christopher Stowell (Shelburne)
2004 Scholarship Recipient
Champlain Valley Union High School, Hinesburg

Christopher became involved in helping the queer community as a freshman in high school. Since then he's been trying to do as much as possible. Christopher was an active member of the GSTA, planning events and writing grants. He was also interviewed by Bess O'Brien for the Voices Project and was a panel member at the Closing the Gap Conference.

Christopher's advisor had this to say,

"As the advisor to CVUHS's GSTA I have spent many hours in conversation with "Topher" and have only the highest regard for this courageous young man. I truly believe that his quiet personal process this year has been as powerful as any flamboyant activism; as Christopher has come to be as well as speak his truth he has given his peers the gift of their own power."

Christopher will be attending St. Michael's College this fall where he will be studying Psychology.
