For local artist Caleb Kenna, making a career of photography is a great way to interact with the world. While Middlebury might know Kenna’s photographs of the town of Middlebury and the Middlebury campus through their frequent features on the college’s social media accounts, his photos have a much larger reach beyond the 05753 zip code.

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.

Reflecting on my experiences as an Orientation Assistant for the new first-year Febs in 2022, a job I originally deemed invigorating and fun, I realized that I will never do it again. I am not alone in this sentiment; my friends who worked as orientation leaders share similar feelings. Like me, they have opted not to apply as orientation leaders again due to the substandard pay they received weeks after they finished their jobs. In 2022, the college decided to pay students a one-time payment of $300 for eight hours of daily training during their training period and once students arrived, leaders usually worked more than five hours per day. A 2022 article in The Middlebury Campus revealed that leaders are paid less than $4 per hour, which is unacceptably low for the work they do.

Racing movies typically make for a fun time at the theater. Think “Rush,” Ron Howard’s moving 2013 Formula One drama starring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl, or “Ford v Ferrari,” the energetic 2019 blockbuster from James Mangold led by Matt Damon and Christian Bale. Those films follow sympathetic characters through affecting passages of drama off the racetrack that are interspersed with thrilling sequences of action on it. They are crowd-pleasers, and very good ones at that.

Since passing the 500-point milestone, Noah Osher ’23.5 has been acutely aware of his path to joining the 1000-point club. Heading into Middlebury’s game against Bowdoin College on Jan. 12, his sights were set on the minimum of 22 points he needed to achieve a career-long goal. Averaging 17.9 points per game so far this season, whether or not Osher would hit 1,000 points by the end of the season looked like a certainty heading into last weekend’s double competitions against Bowdoin and Colby College, but the captain hoped to do it after just the first game on Friday night.

For most Middlebury students, the end of exams in December signifies a return home and a break from the regular routine of school life. However, for many of Middlebury’s student athletes, winter break means a time for training camps and extra competitions. Since our last edition of The Campus on Dec. 7, nearly all of Middlebury’s winter teams have been in action.

With every new academic year comes a new class of seniors making LinkedIn posts about their post-graduation plans. These announcements range from “I’d like to thank my parents and teachers…” to “I wouldn’t be in this position if it wasn’t for Middlebury…”. One field that is always well represented at the college is finance.

Middlebury College is set to witness history on Saturday, Feb. 3, when the largest Feb class ever will graduate. While the class of 2023.5 will still ski down in one form or another during their graduation, as is tradition, the location for the annual Ski Down remains uncertain. 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.
