In approximately 50 seconds, you could circle E Lot and find that no parking spots remain, or watch your bagel burn as you send it through the Proc toaster a second time when you knew you shouldn’t have, or ride the Ross elevator in claustrophobic and quiet silence from the first to sixth floor.
Two Sundays ago, a long, hard-fought season for men’s soccer ended with a 1–0 loss to Wheaton College. A goal in the 20th minute proved enough to push the Lyons into the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament, but not without a moment of controversy and a hotly debated goal-line photo.
Middlebury College Field Hockey faced off at home against Westfield State University on Nov. 12, marking its 25th NCAA tournament appearance — under the lights, on a cold Wednesday night.

In the middle of the night, Nathan Szubin ’29 woke up and brought the couch cushions to the kitchen. He arranged the cushions lengthwise on the floor, repositioned his inflatable pillow and slipped back into his sleeping bag as he drifted off again. It was the night before the regional championship race, and as the St. Lawrence University soccer team partied next door, Szubin had to improvise his own quiet.

It has also fulfilled the vision of co-founders Joanna Colwell and Natasha Chang of creating an environment built on social justice and mutual care.
Last spring, the college temporarily changed the process for choosing a student Commencement speaker, selecting Student Government Association (SGA) President Brandon Straker ’25 to deliver a speech without the routine input of a student and staff-led committee. This change was made due to controversies over the speeches of the two previous commencement speakers, who deviated from their approved scripts to accuse the college of complacency in the war in Gaza. For the upcoming Feb Commencement ceremony on Jan. 31, the process has returned to an open call for graduates to submit recorded videos of their speeches for consideration.

The event offered Middlebury the opportunity to publicly discuss its environmental future.
Since Ian Baucom began his role as Middlebury College’s 18th president in July, he’s mapped out a regular walking route. Starting at his office in Old Chapel, he winds past Old and New Battell, through BiHall, out to the Knoll, back up College Street, around Proctor and down to Axinn. Sometimes he walks with a faculty or staff member, engaged in conversation. Other times he’s alone, thinking. He is still searching for a favorite campus tree, he said. Like any other first year, Baucom has time.
Earlier this fall, leaders of PALANA, Middlebury’s Pan-African, Latinx, Asian, and Native American multicultural student organization, said they were informed by the Student Activities Office (SAO) and Residential Life (ResLife) that the group is at risk of losing its social house, also known as Palmer House, on 260 Ridgeline Road. SAO and ResLife expressed concerns over the occupancy rate of the house by PALANA members, which has fallen in recent years, according to PALANA Co-President Fany Yepiz Medina ’26.

A “murderously” good time occurred on the evenings of Nov. 13-15, when audiences gathered in Town Hall Theater (THT) to see Middlebury College Musical Theater’s (MCMT) performance of the Tony Award-winning musical “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder.”
After a several year hiatus, M Gallery, Middlebury’s student-led gallery space, has returned. Over 100 students gathered on Nov. 14 in the Old Stone Mill for the opening of the first exhibition “Etymology of the Self.”
So, you want to walk the walk and talk the talk and get the real Vermont experience #stickseason. Well, let’s start by testing some basic knowledge:
For athletes, the phrase “listen to your body” is not foreign. However, many might overlook how listening to oneself connects to the menstrual cycle and its impacts. At SPECS, we acknowledge that not everyone who menstruates identifies as female, and many who identify as female don’t menstruate. Therefore, it is important to consider inclusive terminology when recognizing athletes who menstruate. Terms that we use include, but are not limited to: those who menstruate, people with uteruses, and those who are assigned female at birth (AFAB).
