As a month-long celebration of Earth Day, Middlebury Athletics took on the “Green Initiative,” a sustainability challenge spearheaded by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). The program harnesses the competitive spirit of Middlebury’s student-athletes, who have battled this month to see who can pick up the most trash on campus, or which team can get the “perfect sort” of collected waste. More notably, each team has brought their own unique angle to sustainability.

This past week, yet another cycle of the free speech debate has embroiled American colleges and universities. It started on April 17, when students built an unauthorized encampment on Columbia’s central quad as University President Minouche Shafik testified before the House Committee on Education to defend against accusations of antisemitism. The following day, President Shafik called the New York Police Department (NYPD) to clear the protestors on trespassing charges. Half of the arrested students were enrolled at Barnard and faced disciplinary actions such as interim suspensions, but nearly all of them have made agreements with their administrators to return to school. In a significant escalation this Tuesday, the same protestors barricaded themselves inside Columbia’s academic buildings and briefly took numerous hostages before being forcibly removed by the NYPD. The unrest in New York has precipitated similar demonstrations across the country, including here at Middlebury.

Residential Life (ResLife) is a lifestyle more than it is a job. During my four years at Middlebury, I’ve been an Residential Assistant (RA) for three and I am the Head RA of Hepburn Hall this year. Legitimately, some of the kindest and most open-minded people I have met on campus have been those I have met through ResLife. It takes a special kind of person to be deeply invested in creating spaces where people can be held as themselves and supported through the shared experience of living with strangers, in a space more diverse and challenging than most incoming students have ever experienced. Reslife staff members are seen as the “last line of defense” in a system that creates an environment of student distress.

Every April, when the days get long again and we shed our winter coats, I remember that I am an essentially joyful person and am, perhaps more importantly, committed to cultivating joy. This is the writerly way of saying I suffer from a low-grade form of seasonal depression. Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder (SAD) is estimated to affect as many as six in 100 people and is more common among women and in geographic regions like New England. When spring comes, I’m always surprised to watch the cobwebs clear from my heart like slush evaporating under the sun.

For all the students who eagerly toured Middlebury College before committing, you surely heard some version of the line, “It is always possible to start a new club on campus if it doesn’t already exist! You just need ten or more interested members.”
