Acknowledgements

A project of this size and scope cannot be accomplished with many individuals whose insights, guidance and assistance were invaluable to our process.

In its second year, Zeitgeist was made possible by the input and support of Dean of Students Baishakhi Taylor. Additionally, we would like to thank Executive Director of Food Operations Dan Detora for generously supporting the project by providing declining balance for our raffle.

Director of Health and Wellness Barbara McCall, Executive Director of Health and Counseling Services Gus Jordan and ADA Coordinator Jodi Litchfield’s suggestions and input were critical in forming survey questions regarding mental, sexual and physical health at Middlebury. We would also like to express our gratitude to Professor Alex Lyford for his assistance with data analysis. Nate Evans ’20 also helped with conceptualizing the final steps of this project, and we are most grateful for his support. Sarah Fagan ’22 and Sabrina Templeton ’22 contributed the beautiful header graphics for each section.

This project would not have been possible with The Campus’s leadership team of Sabine Poux ’20, James Finn ’20.5, Sadie Housberg ’21 and particularly Bochu Ding ’21, who spearheaded the project in its first year. Your contributions and support have been critical to the success of the survey and its subsequent report. 

Finally, this project would not have been possible without Campus readers like you. We hope that you will continue to support Zeitgeist and give us your thoughts to continuously improve the project in the years going forward.
