The inner workings of Middlebury’s 30-year-old Recycling Center on College Street is a mystery to much of the Middlebury community. Whether Middlebury actually recycles, how it recycles and how one should effectively recycle on campus remain common questions even 30 years after the Recycling Center opened.

Vermont’s bat population, like many across the country, is in trouble. For over a decade, a fungal disease called White-nose syndrome (WNS) has devastated bat populations nationwide. The disease has spread from the east to west coast in both the U.S. and Canada, killing 90% or more of certain bat species, according to Alyssa Bennett, a small mammal biologist with the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 8, faculty members will vote on whether to decrease the credit requirement needed to graduate from 36 credits to 34 credits. Additional changes would allow students to declare their majors later in their Middlebury careers and prevent future classes of students from using AP and IB courses for credit here.

Up front, to address the orange elephant in the room after Tuesday: It has never been more critical for Middlebury to properly invest in the staff that calls our college on a hill home.
Every other week in the second half of the 1980s, students gathered for what began as a book club. As Associate Professor of Political Science Sebnem Gumuscu tells the story, students and faculty packed onto sofas and rugs to socialize and discuss what they had read. The event, which inspired the commons system, put into practice the understanding that newly acquired ideas should change how you live your life. The commons system, which lasted from 1992 to 2019, was the institutionalization of such a principle.
For me and many other students, this past year has been a journey through a grief that feels endless. There are moments when sadness resurfaces unexpectedly, bringing the painful reminder that one of my closest friends is no longer here. Nov. 7 marks a year since the passing of my good friend Ivan Valerio ’26, and I’ve found myself reflecting deeply on what it means to carry this loss.
