Being diagnosed with a femoral stress fracture in September of your first semester is not the ideal way to begin a college running career. Even once your new bone cells have filled in the cracks, certain mental fault lines may persist. You’ll question what could’ve been so wrong for such an injury to occur in the first place, and you’ll notice and hyperfixate on the smallest pain. The emotional urge to resume training will outpace your physical readiness to return. You’ll feel out of balance with yourself.

As a senior staring down the barrel of graduation, I have found myself increasingly unable to avoid the classic existential question: What the heck should I do with my life? More specifically, how can I leave my mark on the world? Medical school? Going into law? Nonprofit work? What’s the best way to help the most people I possibly can?
Dear Panthers,
This Monday, I stood alongside Middlebury College Democrats co-presidents Erik Ghalib ’28.5 and Lucas Basham ’28 and fellow College Republicans leader Ignacio Gamero ’26 as we were recognized for organizing a series of joint meetings between our groups—conversations focused on fostering civil, productive political dialogue that, not long ago, would have felt unlikely on this campus. It’s the kind of dialogue I set out to make possible when I restarted the Middlebury College Republicans (MCR) in 2024 — building space for healthy discourse across differences, grounded in the belief that viewpoint diversity and free expression are fundamental to a liberal arts education.
“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.
The Middlebury Campus has been student-run since 1905. It is editorially independent. This past semester, MiddStories, the publication of Middlebury’s Office of Communications, began publishing on the same day of the week as The Middlebury Campus. That overlap matters a bit more than it may seem.
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.
For the 121st year in a row, the Middlebury Campus continued its mission of fair, thorough and valuable reporting for the Middlebury community. In a year of transition, we reported on the inauguration of President Ian Baucom, the closing of the Institute at Monterrey, and the opening of New Battell, while Stewart Hall undergoes renovation. Debates over the role of AI in academia, free speech on campus, grade inflation, mental health support, tuition increases and budget cuts, among other issues, have amplified the sense of substantial change on campus.
