President Ian Baucom announced on Jan. 22 that Executive Vice President and Provost Michelle McCauley will step down from her position on June 30, concluding a tenure spanning three decades of teaching and institutional leadership at Middlebury.
After a year-long consultative process, the student organization previously known as Hillel has changed its name to ‘The Jewish Association at Middlebury (JAM)’, while maintaining an on-paper affiliation with Hillel International, an umbrella network of Jewish campus groups across the United States.
Middlebury women’s golf finished in second place in the NESCAC championships, relinquishing their tournament-long lead to Amherst on a frigid Williamstown Sunday.
“No experience required.” When I read that The Campus was hiring a new opinions editor, I was excited to apply. I had close to zero experience editing writing, let alone articles for a print newspaper. Nevertheless, I took the “no experience required” to heart, and as I look back, I encourage anyone, regardless of your journalism experience, to join The Campus and help us advance our mission of impartial, fact-driven student journalism.
As I prepare to leave this bubble for the real world at the end of the month, I find myself, like any senior, reflecting on my time at Middlebury. And truthfully, I am grateful.
April in Middlebury marks the arrival of spring and with it, Vermont’s mud season. Mud season, usually beginning in March and April, refers to the transition period between winter and spring when snow has melted, leaving muddy conditions.
With her dad playing professional hockey, Meg Simon ’26 moved over 50 times growing up. Between trade deals and being called up to the NHL, Simon’s mom made sure the family always followed along. “It was really important to my mom that we moved as a unit,” Simon explained— a luxury that many hockey families forego.
It is a cold Saturday afternoon in January, and Middlebury’s ice hockey team faces off against its fierce NESCAC competitors. The arena is full of excitement and tension. Fans wear oversized hockey jerseys, clutching hot dogs in one hand and blue-and-white pom-poms in the other, as they root for the home team. Vermont does not have any professional sports teams, so, naturally, Middlebury hockey becomes “the team” for many Addison County residents. When scanning Kenyon Arena on a typical game day, a large portion of the stands consists of local residents. This camaraderie encapsulates the mutually sustaining relationship between students and town residents in Middlebury. The borders of college property and the surrounding town are permeable, with both parties having an undeniable impact on one another.
As the weather finally warms up (forgetting this Tuesday's snow), students finally begin to trade parkas, mittens and wool hats for lighter layers. The College emerges from its winter routine as Adirondack chairs fill Battell Beach and McCullough lawn once again. Students rush to get a coveted seat at the few tables outside the dining halls.
For student-athletes, Athletics staff, and regular gym-goers alike, the Peterson Family Athletics Complex is a daily fixture, but notably far from the college’s main dining hubs. The Den was created to close that gap, bringing convenient access to food to a corner of campus that had long gone without it.
For more than a decade, Middlebury College has hosted students from the Kenya Scholars Access Program (KenSAP), which brings high-achieving and high-need students from Kenya to colleges primarily in the United States.
Unlike the Davis Family Library, BiHall and Kenyon Arena, fraternities existed on campus when Erin Quinn ’86 began coaching at Middlebury. Quinn has since overlapped with six college presidents, and in his time as Athletic Director alone, Middlebury has earned 69 NESCAC team titles, 19 NCAA team championships and 29 NCAA individual titles. Now, at the end of this academic year, Quinn will conclude his 41 years with the college.
On March 2, Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted a video message on X, formerly known as Twitter, encouraging Americans in the Middle East to monitor updates following the initiation of “Operation Epic Fury.” The travel advisory for Jordan, which typically rests at level two — “exercise increased caution” — was bumped up to level three, “reconsider travel.”
This piece has been written by staff members at The Center for Careers and Internships. For students of the class of 2026 preparing to enter a competitive job market, getting an early start on the job search can help you navigate an increasingly competitive landscape.
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.
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.
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.
Middlebury’s Economics Department recently set a new department-wide threshold of 95% for receiving an A-grade. As we recently reported, this policy change stemmed from concerns about grade inflation, which has prompted us to ask: What is the value of an A?
