Reduced BiHall vivarium staff disrupts animal research, classroom instruction this fall
(10/09/23 1:13am)
While many students and faculty in the humanities, and maybe even some in the science departments, have never interacted with the vivarium in BiHall, its existence is critical to the study of live animals at Middlebury. But the vivarium – an enclosure that houses living organisms, including plants and animals – has been operating with reduced staff since before the start of the fall semester, forcing the shutdown of the majority of animal research, impacting classes and hindering faculty and student work.

Resurrecting the Bird: Blackbird Literary and Visual Arts Journal
(09/28/23 10:00am)
My name is Liv Cohen and I have one semester left at Middlebury College (I refuse to use the term super-senior Feb; I am sorry, it just makes me squirm, but that is beside the present point). The point is that I remember Middlebury in the fall of 2019 with all of the startling clarity of a terrified freshman. It was the last semester before the shit hit the fan, if you will, and one of the last semesters that Blackbird Literary and Visual Arts Journal was a vital part of campus life.

Navigating Middlebury traffic amidst a very soggy summer
(09/14/23 10:02am)
My small hometown in upstate New York is one with a mighty sprawl through winding avenues of pines, up and over hills and alongside mountains. Neighborhoods, grocery stores and restaurants are awkward distances from one another without sidewalks in between.
How much money would it take for you to leave Middlebury this fall?
(09/14/23 10:01am)
The student body is now very familiar with Middlebury’s pandemic-related over-enrollment issues. We have previously editorialized and reported on how the consistently larger-than-usual student body over the past three years has affected class size, dining hall lines, parking spaces and housing. Middlebury has taken numerous steps to manage over-enrollment, including purchasing the Inn on the Green and using the Breadloaf campus for upperclassmen housing.
Life After Graduating
(09/14/23 10:00am)
When you were in first grade, you probably went on to second grade without much thought. And from second to third and all the way through elementary, middle and high school. What’s crazy about the first roughly 18 years of your life is that you go to school… and that’s all. Maybe you’re involved in some extracurriculars, like sports or clubs, or an afterschool job, but, generally, your focus is on being a student. Senior year of high school rolls around and some people decide they’ve had enough, but many students today decide to go on to college. So you keep plugging along through four more years of college until suddenly you’re sleep deprived and giddy walking across a stage in a black gown trying to squint through the sun and not drop your diploma and cane. Or at least that was my graduation experience.

Disorient: Learn about the history and resources the college won’t teach
(05/11/23 10:05am)
As graduating seniors, we feel that it is important to acknowledge the institutional history that may be lost when our class leaves Middlebury. How did the college respond to Covid, and how did this (in)action affect our student body? Who is Charles Murray, and why has the college invited him to campus multiple times, despite widespread student retaliation and national news coverage? Is Energy2028 a feasible goal or another instance of institutional greenwashing? Where can we access resources created by students to ensure our academic, social and financial success at Middlebury?
