Middlebury has returned to a more typical student enrollment number this semester following a surge in the number of students on campus in the fall and overall elevated enrollment since fall 2021. This decrease in enrollment has taken some of the strain off of on-campus housing, and the college does not anticipate housing students at the Inn on the Green next fall, as it has for the past three fall semesters.

As we trudge through the final week of February and see some glimmers of sunlight, it’s worth considering what intentional decisions we can make about how to spend the rest of the semester. What habits do we wish to leave behind in the winter and fall, and what lessons and goals do we wish to bring forth into the coming weeks?

In the summer after my first semester at Middlebury, I read “The Idiot” by Elif Batuman, the novel to which “Either/Or” is the sequel. Both books center Selin, a Turkish American woman at Harvard beginning in the year 1995.

Vermont isn’t what we think it is. At least, Vermont isn’t the place I thought it was or the place many of my peers think it to be. Coming to Vermont as a student from the Midwest, I was eager to become immersed in the land of politicians like Bernie Sanders, activist companies like Ben and Jerry’s and values of environmentalism and justice. These, along with maple syrup, mountains and cows, are the basic traits of the Vermont stereotype and likely are some of the things that drew many students to Middlebury. In fact, a key pillar of the admissions info session I attended back in the summer of 2019 was that a prospective student could not understand the college without understanding the context of the wonderful state in which it exists.

Middlebury College is set to witness history on Saturday, Feb. 3, when the largest Feb class ever will graduate.

The college plans to make the final decision on its location by Jan. 25, stating that if there is enough snow at the Middlebury Chapel Hill to ski down, the event will be held there.

The first snow of the season came to Middlebury on Nov. 1, and despite this year’s unpredictable weather, there has been an overall drop in temperature as we get closer to winter. But as the temperature drops, our hopes for snow and the prospect of winter sports begin to rise. We see the white dusting on our trees, stark and sparkling. We watch the still-green grass become blanketed and the color wiped away. Ice begins to appear at the edges of Lake Champlain and Lake Dunmore. The flurries linger outside our classroom windows — distracting and exciting. Public Safety tells us to close our windows over break: the pipes might freeze! Some begin to imagine carving tracks through the hills and — onto Lake Champlain?

Middlebury seems to be an institution that values justice. We certainly talk about it constantly, so if one can infer importance from repetition, we do value it. Climate Justice, Reproductive Justice, Housing Justice, Environmental Justice. But to be able to have productive discussions about those topics, we (as students and citizens) need to have a sense of justice that is grounded in more than a vague sense of ‘what feels right’ or the values that our community tells us are correct. This lack of a tried and tested, thoughtful and rigorous, ethical framework to defend our convictions is a dangerous weakness.

Throughout one’s experience at college, there are many opportunities to choose to engage — or not to engage — in sexual relationships. Different students across campus have widely varying backgrounds in sexual health education, and misinformation might be encountered along the way. SPECS strives to promote accessible and inclusive sex-positive education, and our column in The Campus is one of these outlets we have across campus. Here are five common myths about sex and sexual health that SPECS believes are important to clarify:
