As hundreds of students gathered on campus for a concert co-sponsored by the Middlebury College Activities Board (MCAB) last Friday, questions remain about the organization’s future on campus. In the wake of legislation passed by members of the previous Student Government Association (SGA) last spring, MCAB and the new SGA administration will continue to grapple with how to best allocate concert funding and improve the organization’s oversight this year.
The Honor Code Review Committee (HCRC) published an interim report this past May outlining themes in current Honor Code practice as well as recommendations to address the code’s shortcomings. Just one month prior, 65% of Middlebury students self-reported having broken the Honor Code in The Campus’ annual Zeitgeist survey, causing faculty, administrators and students to question what influence the policy still holds.

The college is also currently running a new need-based aid challenge to raise money for financial aid.

Middlebury has released the demographic information for the newly enrolled class of 2028 and the soon-to-matriculate class of 2028.5. These cohorts mark the first admissions cycle since the Supreme Court's June 2023 decision prohibiting the consideration of race as a factor in the admissions process. As a result, Middlebury has seen a shift from its recent trend of increasing racial diversity among each year’s incoming class. This year, 26% of the first-year class are students of color, down from 35% for the classes of 2027 and 2027.5, and the lowest percentage in at least seven years.
The recording room at Summit Sound Studios, located in Southeast suburban Nashville, Tenn., looks like it could be the living room in your typical home: a worn leather couch against one wall, a piano by the other, with tapestries and houseplants for decoration. The only thing that gives away the room’s true purpose is the microphone standing on the center of the floor and the sound-proofing material lining the walls. Yet this homey feel can be incorrect. It is an intimate, vulnerable process. This past spring break, my a capella group, the Dissipated 8, recorded a four song E.P. in Nashville. This recording process, along with my past experience in singing, reaffirmed why music, and vocal music in particular, are supremely powerful artistic forces.

I will now elucidate the common spatial offenses in their most common environments, pathways and dining halls, and then propose solutions.
