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.

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.

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).

Two weeks ago, I made the case for specifying the global problems you wish to spend years on. Today I want to place these choices at the right altitude, because from arm’s length everything blurs and from 10 years out it usually becomes embarrassingly clear. Set aside the buzz lines, and your career adds up to about 40-50 years, roughly 80,000 working hours. That is the single largest block of time you will ever control. Life is smaller than it feels, and if you do not decide what those hours are for, inertia will determine it for you.
