On Feb. 4, Dean of Students Joe Russell announced the launch of the Center for Student Success, a new centralized hub designed to streamline access to student resources and support.
The recent student protest at a career conversation talk hosted by a retired CIA agent raised questions about career choices and their moral ramifications. College is a transitional period in which students engage in intense pursuits and self-discovery to prepare for the real world. Students then decide how and where they want to capitalize on their education after graduation.
We were at dinner on January 19th when Elisabeth Dellit received a message in her Migrant Justice at Midd group chat alerting members about a meeting organized by a group of students unaffiliated with any club. The meeting was to plan a protest against a career conversation with Phillip Consentino ‘00. Cosentino recently retired after 25 years in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), serving as a counterterrorism and extremist radicalization analyst.
This article is a response to a Jan 22. letter written by Noah R. Groves titled, “A spineless party in and outside the college,” where Groves criticizes the Middlebury College Democrats (MCD) for co-hosting an event with the Middlebury College Republicans (MCR). Groves’s letter merits a response not only because of the inherent value of political dialogue, but because some clarifications may mitigate the palpable frustration he feels.
The Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies and the Feminist Resource Center want to express our concern and dismay at today’s Alexander Hamilton Forum talk featuring a “conservative feminist,” Leah Libresco Sargeant, who defines women as immutably biologically different from men. We believe that all oppression is linked and that separating one marginalized group from another will not lead to a more just and equitable world. Further, we stand by decades of interdisciplinary feminist scholarship that has debunked a binary view of sex, informed by the work of biologists who recognize more than two sexes, as well as by research into the limits of using hormones or body parts to determine sex or gender.
Bob Spaulding is the bus driver for the men’s soccer and hockey teams and is among the most hardworking people out there.
Standing in front of the heavy door of the Wright theater, darkness heightened my senses. I could only hear the woman’s instructions coming from my headset, accompanied by subtle music: Open the door. Find a bench. Sit down. I stared at the orange door, hesitated, and slowly followed the instructions. The dim light, the tenderness of every step and the tick-tock of the walking clock forced me to meditate on the intersection of time and space: Where am I? Where am I going next? This is a typical experience of a ‘one step at a time like this’ theatrical production, where audiences are guided through the space, becoming the actor of their own piece.
Conversational Art is a column of artist interviews (faculty & students alike) that foregrounds the personal voice, the creative process and bouts of insight springing from the resonant space in between.
“The only people who belong in boxes?”
On Feb. 13, Middlebury men’s basketball faced Hamilton for their senior night game. For the first time ever, the five graduating seniors took the court together as starters for their final game as Panthers. Over the loudspeakers, the lineup was announced as: Evan Flaks ’26, Edward Witherington ’26, Mark Newell ’26, Jackson McKersie ’26, and Oliver Urena ’26.

As the February chill continues to drag on, it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel (especially with Punxsutawney Phil reporting another six weeks of winter). Luckily, the Middlebury arts scene boasts nothing short of exciting. Offerings span from theatre to faculty lectures, and guarantee a warm sanctuary for even the coldest days of the season.
I figured this wouldn’t be an ordinary career talk when I arrived at the Robert A. Jones House (RAJ) on Jan. 20th, and a student handed me a packet with a headline emblazoned in white: “The CIA is a Terrorist Organization.”
Last year, I had the privilege of serving as Vice President of the Student Government Association (SGA). For three years now, I’ve had a front-row seat to how SGA administrations campaign, govern, and ultimately follow through on the promises they make to the student body. I know what engaged leadership and accountability look like, so I can confidently say that President Nicole Meyers’ ’26 administration falls noticeably short of that standard.
On Wednesday, Feb. 11, a crowd gathered at Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society to listen to a panel of experts on the subject of middle schoolers’ mental health during an event titled “Fostering Resilience and Hope in Our Children Today.”
Initially, the snowy hills of Vermont may not seem like the place for SCUBA (Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) diving; however, Middlebury College and the greater Vermont community have a thriving SCUBA diving community. The college’s SCUBA Diving Club has historically provided training and dive opportunities to students, faculty, and staff. Although the club is no longer active on campus, many students and faculty are interested in bringing SCUBA back to Middlebury.
On Friday, Feb. 13, the usual daytime aroma of fresh pastry at Haymaker Bun & Co. was replaced by the neon glow of a karaoke machine and a high-energy playlist. The space, typically known for morning coffees and fantastic breakfast buns, transformed into a vibrant community hub where the clinking of dinner plates mingled with applause for every singer who took the mic.
In January 2022, eight young women from Afghanistan arrived to begin their Middlebury College educations over the frigid winter break. The quiet mountain landscape and gray limestone buildings displaced the skyscrapers and big screens they had imagined when they thought of the U.S. Other students had not yet returned to campus, and the dining halls and dorms felt eerily empty.
Changes to Middlebury’s Student Access and Support (SAS) grant program this fall sparked frustration among some students who rely on the funding, raising questions about accessibility, financial stigma and how the college supports students with demonstrated financial need.
