A mainstay of the Middlebury restaurant scene since 2002, American Flatbread launched a creative Sunday brunch this past March to complement its dinner menu of customizable flatbreads, salads and desserts. The brunch menu consists of not only flatbread pizzas, but also a range of brunch-specific pastries, yogurt and drinks available only on Sundays.
In the spirit of Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, a lively group of students, faculty and community members united across campus on Thursday, Nov. 2 for the second year in a row to celebrate and honor loved ones who have passed.
As Vermont’s bright foliage gives way to the crisp chill of winter, the Middlebury Club Soccer season has drawn to a close. With the final whistle of the season already blown, it is time to reflect on the triumphs of this past season on the turf.
Following an undefeated season, Middlebury men’s soccer finally met its match this past weekend, falling 2–1 to a plucky Tufts University in a NESCAC semifinal matchup. The win marked a significant upset as the fourth seeded Jumbos knocked off the top-ranked Panthers on their home turf.
Despite having plenty of moments to cheer for their team throughout the match, Middlebury volleyball fans left Pepin Gymnasium in silence at the end of Sunday’s NESCAC quarterfinal as Williams College walked away with a 3–2 win. The Panthers now await their fate in the national tournament as a selection committee assigns the at-large berths.
Taylor Swift is my role model.
Over 250 students attended “Gaza in Context,” a teach-in event led by Middlebury Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) on Wednesday, Nov. 1, featuring perspectives from members of the Middlebury community, students and faculty. The teach-in came at a time when SJP has been circulating a letter with over 500 signatories calling for the college administration to take a stronger stand condemning what they identified as human rights abuses against Palestinians.
While Adul Samon ’27 is adjusting to the challenges of settling into life at Middlebury like many other first-year students, he is no stranger to difficult situations.
The Catamount, a student-run bar which aims to provide a social environment different from the traditional party scene at Middlebury, hosted its first event of the fall semester last week. Approximately 150 juniors and seniors attended the event held in Atwater Dining Hall on Thursday, Nov. 2.
If the new first-year dorm is finished by spring break of 2025, first-year students living in Stewart Hall next year will move into the new building for the remainder of the semester in order to allow for construction on Stewart to begin, Middlebury announced in an Oct. 23 email.
Middlebury has a campus problem. While the majority of people might not notice some of the flaws with our campus, I believe that the physical layout of our sidewalks presents a logistical nightmare for lawn maintenance. By no means am I saying that the grounds crew that works day-in and day-out to pick up trash, mow the grass and clear the sidewalks is doing a bad job. They are what keeps this campus alive and beautiful. However, as I walk around campus, I notice some issues that are unique to Middlebury.
Middlebury is a school that is largely defined by its outdoor access and culture. Yet, after four years of photographing Middlebury, as seniors we feel like the beautiful landscape surrounding the college is still underappreciated. If not underappreciated, then it is certainly underutilized.
Who can stop Middlebury football this season?
This past Friday’s Dolci dinner, cleverly coined “Knolci,” merged two Middlebury favorites: Dolci, Middlebury’s student-run restaurant, and the Knoll, the college’s farm. The Knoll’s bountiful harvest served as the inspiration for the event and provided most of the meal’s produce, which Dolci chefs used to craft a vibrant and creative five-course meal. The occasion brought together students, collaborators and supporters of the Knoll to celebrate the site’s twentieth anniversary and a successful fall harvest.
Middlebury Health Services Director and nurse practitioner Sandy Robinson is retiring after eight years with the college. Robinson’s departure is met with both gratitude for her service and anticipation for the future under the leadership of her successor, Alison Finch.

The Champlain Housing Trust — the largest community land trust in the U.S. — received a $20 million donation from MacKenzie Scott through her philanthropist fund, Yield Giving. The contribution marks the largest donation the trust has received in its nearly 40 years of work towards providing affordable homes and related community assets in northwest Vermont, a region facing an ongoing housing crisis amidst a broader state-wide shortage.
For 22 full seasons, the face of the Middlebury Football program was Head Coach Bob Ritter, who led the team to three NESCAC championships and mentored many generations of student-athletes. For 11 of those years, Doug Mandigo ’96 worked alongside Ritter as the team’s defensive coordinator, helping to build Middlebury football into the program it is today. Ritter stepped into the role of Assistant Athletic Director this past December, leaving Mandigo to take over as the Michael G. Heinecken Head Coach of Football.
This week, our Editorial Board reflected on how Covid-19 continues to affect campus life. Trust us, we are just as tired of editorializing on this issue over three and a half years since the start of the pandemic as you are of hearing about it. Unfortunately, however, a recent surge in student cases indicates that the virus is still very much present on campus and retains the power to substantially impact our lives. We call for the administration to share with the student body any information they have on Covid-19 cases, make test kits and masks more accessible and establish clearer guidelines to how professors and students should deal with the virus.
