Monterey moments: Reflections from my Coasts and Climate Semester
By Finn Warner | September 21, 2023When dawn broke over the Santa Lucia Mountains, I could hear the waves breaking against the cliffs of the Big Sur coastline as the stars began to fade away.

Super Seniors are awesome
By William Reed | September 14, 2023I am finally a Super Senior Feb at Middlebury. This term once felt distant — almost surreal. It hovered on the horizon, a bit like some sort of promised land.

Disorient: Learn about the history and resources the college won’t teach
By Jake Dreyfous, Lucas Donavan-Lafuente and Madeline Hiller | May 11, 2023As graduating seniors, we feel that it is important to acknowledge the institutional history that may be lost when our class leaves Middlebury. How did the college respond to Covid, and how did this (in)action affect our student body? Who is Charles Murray, and why has the college invited him to campus ...
Four years in retrospect: It doesn’t end with Commencement
By Editorial Board | May 11, 2023For this week’s editorial, the graduating seniors of the Editorial Board reflected on how Middlebury has changed –– for better and worse –– since they enrolled in fall 2019.

The importance of sustainable fashion at Middlebury
By Libby Scaperotta | May 4, 2023At Middlebury, once my friends found out I could sew, I became inundated with texts asking me to patch a pair of jeans or alter a top. Upcycling and repairing clothing is crucial to capitalizing on the longevity of clothing and avoiding the wasteful process of buying something new. There is an obvious ...
