Middlebury’s up-and-coming Club Nordic team wrapped up their racing season this past weekend at the Eastern Collegiate Ski Conference Regional Championship meet. In addition to a competitive racing season, the student-led club also organized free ski lessons and gear rentals throughout January and February to help new skiers get started.
Hailing from southwestern Zimbabwe, the a cappella quintet Nobuntu could have been enjoying the frequent sun and 80-degree days that usually mark this time of year at home. Instead, they chose to travel to Vermont to perform for the Middlebury community on Feb. 18.

Middlebury men’s squash has a history of success. Ever since the team earned varsity status in 2008, it has consistently ranked among the top 25 schools in the nation. Most recently, the team won the Summers Cup — the national championship for the teams ranked No. 17 to No. 24 in the nation — in 2017 and finished second in 2020.
Hundreds of us marched for three miles through downtown Portland, Maine, stopping at Hannaford’s flagship store toward the Hood plant (where Hannford’s milk is distributed throughout parts of New England), traveling over bridges and highways to demand Hannaford sign onto the Milk with Dignity program. This collective action, like all Migrant Justice actions, was led by 50 dairy workers who risked their jobs, and ultimately their livelihood, to declare their dignity and the dignity of all farmworkers.
Last month, The Campus ran an investigative piece discussing alleged issues of wage theft and human rights abuses on Goodrich Family Farm, a farm the college partners with to meet its sustainability goals, as outlined in Energy2028. This was followed by an editorial calling for the college to take accountability and ensure fair living and working conditions for farmworkers, especially on college-partnered farms.
The College’s decision, announced on September 27, to remove the name of John A. Mead from one of the tallest structures of the campus’s built environment should be just the beginning of a deeper institutional and broader historical introspection into the college’s relationship to structural forms of injustice. In the history of eugenics in the state of Vermont, Mead, as a governor who advocated for eugenics legislation in the early 1900s, is merely the tip of the iceberg.
Located at the central intersection, a couple of hundred feet away from the newly constructed Amtrak station, Greg’s Meat Market holds an array of surprises. The grocery store has a local, mom-and-pop atmosphere. As I step inside its produce-packed door, I’m welcomed by a cashier and roam the aisles filled with all kinds of products at a price suitable for a college student's budget.
In Netflix’s “The Power of the Dog,” the first film from Academy Award winning director Jane Campion in twelve years, Benedict Cumberbatch transforms into cattle rancher Phil Burbank with a brilliance that is matched only by the quality of the film itself. He is raw, startling and ultimately tragic as he leads us through an intimate Western that often conveys its meaning through powerful imagery and strong acting rather than pointed dialogue.
Karen Duguay, executive director of Experience Middlebury, was honored with the Buster Brush Citizen of the Year Award at the annual Addison County Chamber of Commerce awards ceremony on Oct. 28 for her essential contributions to Neighbors, Together (NT), a community action group that supported local Middlebury businesses while the key stages of the Bridge & Rail Project inhibited the flow of traffic through downtown last year. Duguay was also recognized for her work as an administrator through the Better Middlebury Partnership (BMP).
An estimated 963 upperclassmen not involved in independent work attempted to register for 875 available seats on the final day of J-Term registration this year — leaving almost 100 students without a 2022 winter term class.
This past weekend, six fall varsity teams competed in NCAA Tournament competition. Most squads traveled out of Vermont for their matches, although field hockey, thanks to their record, hosted other schools. From cross country to volleyball, here is how each team fared:
Some of life’s most interesting pleasures are those that are acquired. It could be riding a bike for the second time as you feel your confidence growing with fewer wobbles. Or cooking a new dish again, with fish that emerges hearty brown rather than coal black. Or it could be finally hearing the first budding echoes of that song you are learning on the guitar. For me, the video game “Hollow Knight” is one of those acquired pleasures.
Crisp air and bare trees can only signal one thing: the dawn of the winter sports season. As fall sports wind down at Middlebury, it’s time to turn our attention to the 14 varsity winter sports teams that are set to compete over the next few months. Here are previews for every varsity winter sports team.
A version of this letter was previously sent to college administrators on Thursday, Nov. 4 by the leadership of YouPower, Middlebury’s free spin club.

Representatives from several campus advocacy groups convened on Oct. 28 with organizers from the Milk with Dignity movement to discuss collaboration and priorities.
