On March 9, President Ian Baucom welcomed 55 students from the Middlebury College Democrats (MCD) and the Middlebury College Republicans (MCR) into his home for the third joint meeting between the two groups. Students gathered around tables to share a meal and engage in conversations about their political beliefs.
In Jan. 2025, the Armstrong Science Library in BiHall closed to make way for the development of the new Quantitative Center, or “Q-Center.” Though the design of the space was finalized only this semester, the Q-Center has quickly become a popular place for faculty and students to gather and collaborate.
Connor Williams ’08.5, a current lecturer and first-year seminar instructor at the college, has taken a roundabout path back to Middlebury. Before returning to his alma mater to teach during the 2025 J-Term, Williams served as lead historian for Congress’ Naming Commission. In that role, he spent 2021 and 2022 researching American military figures as the commission worked to rename nine U.S. military bases that had previously commemorated Confederate soldiers.
At one point or another, most Middlebury students will walk up the stairs in Proctor Dining Hall and sit down for lunch in the Redfield Dining Room. There, they’ll take off their coats and backpacks, sit down at one of the round tables, and immerse themselves in an experiential part of the college’s robust foreign language learning curriculum. For five days a week, Language Tables are open and bustling amid the midday lunch rush, with eight core languages and the occasional Swahili or ASL table running each week.

International students make up an integral part of Middlebury’s student body. The college has a long and proud history of welcoming international students. It was a founding member of the United World College Davis Scholars program, which has become the largest private scholarship for international students in the United States, and partners with organisations such as KenSAP and SOLA, to bring high-achieving international students to Vermont. However, amid continued uncertainty from the Trump administration, faculty, students, and administrators alike must make immediate and long-term efforts to consider the burdens our international students face.
In June 1948, the Middlebury Board of Trustees voted to elect two women to the board for the first time: Gertrude Cornish Milliken and Alice Guest Howson. While the name Milliken may be familiar to many students on campus, Howson is not. In current blog posts, articles and published materials, Gertrude Milliken is listed as the sole first woman trustee. I am asking Middlebury College to correct this omission to honor Alice Howson for her contributions to our school.
It was a bit of a shock when I first saw the headlines announcing the sudden death of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It came so fast, unlike other past U.S.A.-determined targets (Iraqi Saddam Hussein and Libyan Muammar Gaddafi), whose deaths usually marked the end of a long-lasting war. As the mission unfolds, it becomes clear that the Iranian political structure Khamenei has represented differs from political structures that depend on a single or several political figures, and it is not as easy to dismantle as some think. Revolutionary Guard Corps, Basji Militia and Shia religious forces continue to have steady social, economic and population foundations that could create a stream of substitute figures to continue to run the country, even after assassinations and strikes. In my opinion, without an achievable and damage-minimized plan that aligns with a persistent and clear objective, foreign interventions should not be revoked and should never be self-centered.
“Nothing to Hide: Mental Illness in the Family,” a photo-text exhibit showcasing images and stories of families affected by mental illness, recently opened at the Congregational Church of Middlebury (MiddUCC). The exhibit is on display outside of the church’s offices and its Unity Hall, where viewers can see the work on Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. “Nothing to Hide” is open until March 31st.
On Tuesday, March 24th, The Moth, a non-profit organization based in New York City, will host an open storytelling competition at the Town Hall Theater, as part of their StorySLAM series. The event itself will be recorded and potentially broadcast on “The Moth Radio Hour”, offering audiences the chance to have their stories heard by a national audience.
This past Sunday, the Blueberry Hill Outdoor Center hosted “The Pig Race” in the neighboring town of Goshen, welcoming more than 90 children and adults for a day of fun in the snow. Despite the name, the event is not a race between pigs; it is instead a self-timed ski-and-snow obstacle course, winding through the trails of Vermont's “Wild Blueberry Capital.” The experience ends with a roasted pig and piñata activity.
The labor market today is undergoing a rapid technological revolution with the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In 2025, more than 100,000 employees were affected by AI-driven layoffs, and more than 30,000 employees have already been impacted this year. These layoffs have emerged as AI automates tasks previously handled by humans.
Down 5-1 with less than five minutes gone in the second quarter, the Middlebury men’s lacrosse team was losing control of the game. Connecticut College (Conn) scored two goals in under 30 seconds, sending the baby blue half of the sideline into a frenzy. The Panthers immediately called a timeout, eliciting even rowdier celebrations from the Camels. As they hooted and hollered, the Middlebury team regrouped and returned to the field with refined focus. It took the Camels over half an hour of play to find the net again.
In Chip Kenyon ‘85 Arena, all eyes are trained on the ice, waiting for Middlebury to slip by the defenders and score a goal. But if you happened to look up to the press box behind the away team’s bench, there’s a complex operation taking place.
On Saturday, the Middlebury women’s hockey team hosted Colby in the NESCAC semifinals. It was a Kenyon Arena marathon, with the Panthers fighting valiantly for over four hours before conceding the winner in the third period of overtime. The loss brings Middlebury’s postseason campaign to a close; the Panthers, ranked sixth in the nation, did not receive an NCAA tournament spot in Sunday's selection event.
“Valentina” chronicles 48 hours in the life of a fictional young woman in the border city of El Paso, Texas, as director Tatti Ribeiro describes it, “a plotless hangout.” The film premiered at the Mill Valley Film Festival (MVFF) this past fall, where she was awarded the Mind the Gap Creation Prize, a $10,000 grant that recognises a female director making her first or second feature-length narrative film for her artistic vision. Although it has yet to reach the big screen, Middlebury students had the privilege of screening this film on March 3 through the Department of Film & Media Culture.
Photography may have always been the most contested art medium: criticized for depicting the world simply as it is, for documenting mere facts that do not require an artistic eye. Yet photography is never neutral. It is meticulously constructed to relay a certain narrative; it is biased; it chooses what to depict and what not to, and it invokes an emotional response — what more could you ask for from art?
Cameron Winter, Gen-Z’s most recent alternative-rock-indie-folk, sunken-eyed, socially awkward, too-cool-for-instagram, boyishly charming, musical darling, has risen to the coveted rank of being called a genius by both elite music critics and youthful fans. From what he has shared with the world so far, whether as the frontman of Geese or on his solo record, he seems pretty deserving of the love. Some may dislike his grumbly baritone voice, or accuse him of being an ‘industry plant’, but it is impossible to disregard that he sold out a headliner show at Carnegie Hall at a ripe 23 years old. The humble stage presence of him and his piano, his face turned away from the audience, was captured by the revered filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, convincing the hundreds of other onlookers that they were part of history in the making, part of the moment.
In the 2025–2026 academic year, around 13% of Middlebury students were non-residents, hailing from more than 70 countries. For those students — and for all students in the United States without American citizenship — this means something very different from what it did before the second Trump administration took office.
