In this edition of Seven Questions, Macy Daggitt ’25 spoke with The Campus about her track and field career, her recovery from an ACL injury her sophomore year and her experience with the team at Middlebury.
The Campus just launched its annual student survey on Monday, March 31, marking the seventh time we have asked Middlebury students to answer dozens of questions about academics, sex and love, social life, politics and other topics. Last year we received completed responses from over 1,200 students; this data has become a touchstone for our reporting on Middlebury’s community, and it has shaped how faculty, staff and administrators understand the student body.
Khuram Hussain, vice president of equity and inclusion and professor of Education Studies, announced in early March that he will step down from his current administrative role on June 30 and return to the classroom as a full-time faculty member in the fall.
Since his inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, Trump has issued at least 128 executive actions, aiming to dismantle federal organizations, slash the budget and disrupt staffing. From threatening the National Institutes of Health (NIH), jeopardizing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, denying the identities of transgender and other genderqueer folks and curtailing the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the executive branch is enforcing sweeping systematic changes under the guise of “efficiency.”
As Middlebury moves forward in the process of designing its new art museum, the architects responsible for its construction have begun to solicit input from students and faculty. On Tuesday, March 4, architects Chelsea Grassinger and Hannah Bacon of Allied Works — who are spearheading the museum’s design — visited campus for a town-hall-style meeting to hear from students. The event marked their second visit to campus, having previously hosted a student listening session after a presentation on Jan. 16.
While the long-term impacts of the Trump Administration’s recent executive orders regarding immigration and budget cuts are yet to be fully realized, it is clear that this administration intends to target universities and vulnerable populations within them. The Trump administration's policies have had a disproportionate effect on certain groups at our school, such as international students concerned about looming deportations. STEM students may be feeling pressure from cuts to research funding that would stymie their professor’s projects in BiHall, while graduating seniors have reported career shifts in light of cuts to the federal government and targeted industries.
"Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings."
Middlebury hosted a talk attended by about 120 students on Feb. 20 titled “What is the Right Approach on Public Policy and Transgender Medicine?” in Wilson Hall in McCullough Student Center. The talk featured two speakers invited by the Alexander Hamilton Forum: Leor Sapir of the Manhattan Institute and Brianna Wu, a transgender activist and executive director of the Rebellion PAC. Both speakers maintain an active presence on social media, where Sapir and Wu have previously criticized current transgender healthcare in the U.S.
At this year’s February Celebration Ceremony, student speaker Faith Wood ’24.5 veered off of their previewed script, denouncing Middlebury’s alleged complicity in the war in Gaza and encouraging audience members to withhold their donations from the institution. Wood’s speech followed last spring’s commencement speech by Adayliah Ley ’24, which also criticized the college’s investments in what Middlebury Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) has called war profiteering.
The men’s and women’s hockey teams both had poignant and celebratory weekends. From celebrating the female senior players during Friday's game, to spreading awareness about sarcoma cancer on Saturday, the games meant more than just 60 minutes spent on ice fighting for the puck.
Lucien “Luke” J. Hotte Jr., assistant coach and cornerstone of Middlebury College’s track and field program for nearly four decades, passed away on Feb. 10, 2024, at the age of 77.
As the snow piles up on campus and winter chills threaten the hopes of an early spring, one of the best ways to stay warm (and entertained) is to attend a local art event. This semester’s offerings range from paintings to theatre, each bringing their unique energy to the Middlebury community. These, of course, are only a handful of some of the exciting events, but the rest can be found listed in the Middlebury Art Events Calendar. Without further ado, here are some upcoming art events to brighten the cold, stressful days of spring semester.
Around 9 p.m. on Sunday night, as I traversed the windswept tundra forming between E Lot and the Chateau, I was devastated to realize that I had left my wallet — along with my one and only Middlebury ID card — inside my room. Clutching my cardboard box from the Grille to my chest in a fruitless attempt to preserve the heat of my meal, I berated myself for once again forgetting my “Key to the City.” It was snowing, and the wind boldly declared it would not settle for a temperature in the double-digits.
Members of the Middlebury community gathered in Dana Auditorium on Jan. 14 to experience a collection of short films that transported them across the world and into the lives of a wide range of remarkable storytellers. This year the films featured stories from outdoor landscapes everywhere from Mexico, California, Sweden, Japan, Zambia and beyond.
The Choral Chameleon performed a stunning, cohesive musical experience: “CONTROL: A Musical Journey within the Generation Gap” in Robison Hall on Saturday, Jan 18.
In the early hours of Wednesday, Nov. 6, national news outlets called the 2024 presidential election for former President Donald Trump. As the election finally came to a close last week, Middlebury community members’ responses ranged from disappointed and anxious to celebratory.
Middlebury is now the latest contributor to Green Mountain Club’s (GMC) efforts to protect the Long Trail. Last month, the college donated a 1.5-mile segment of land — stretching from the summit of Worth Mountain to Vermont Route 125 — to GMC, leaving just two percent of the land on the Long Trail unprotected.
A perfectly spooky end to the Halloween season, Middlebury College Musical Theatre’s fall production of “Little Shop of Horrors” ran at the Town Hall Theater (THT) for three consecutive nights, thrilling audiences with its blend of humor, emotion and terror.
Great Art Wednesday, the Town Hall Theater’s (THT) monthly film series on art and architecture, has returned for the November–May season.
“DIMOG.” The confused jumble of letters painted on their chests spelled out nonsense. “I thought Middlebury students were smarter than that,” one of the course officials joked. Eventually the final “D” ran across and the message was rearranged: “GO MIDD.”
