Middlebury Civics in Action (Midd CIA), co-founded by President Erin Chouinard ’24 and Vice President Ethan Schmitt ’24.5 in spring 2022, is a student group aiming to help students get directly involved in the political process and to provide education regarding active civic engagement.
Middlebury College values students’ civic engagement. The community prides itself in having the second-highest voter registration rate of all U.S. colleges during the 2018 and 2020 elections. Many students have well-formed opinions about modern issues crafted in classrooms, club meetings and conversations with friends. Yet we recognize that some Middlebury students condemn bi-partisan politics and despite their strong values, are uninterested in participating in the two-party system. Understanding politics and crafting opinions is hardly productive if students don’t take concrete action towards them.
MiddVotes — a nonpartisan club that works to increase civic engagement — is tackling midterm election voting head on.

Taylor Swift simply can’t not top herself, and she proved that on her synth-pop-focused 10th studio album, “Midnights.” How can she out-do the most awarded country and pop albums of all time, a historic three Album of the Year wins at the Grammys and the highest grossing U.S. stadium tour in history, you ask? Well, she does it by doing what she’s always done: writing razor-sharp lyrics paired with carefully-curated production elements to develop ever-evolving bodies of work, each one more exciting than the last. Many people felt she couldn’t possibly improve upon the emotionally-ambitious, indie-folk surprise albums “folklore” and “evermore,” but with “Midnights,” she proved that emotional depth and intelligent songwriting don’t have to be sacrificed at the cost of upbeat pop production.

Founded by students in 2003, Middlebury College’s educational garden, the Knoll, has become an incredibly important center of climate justice, resiliency, education and community nourishment.

The Knoll’s 20th anniversary is in 2023, and in honor of this upcoming celebration and all that has become over the past 20 years we would like to share what we love about the Knoll.
