This issue is about more than what staff do during their working hours. We wanted to get to know what some Middlebury staff do in their time off, so we spoke with three staff members about their favorite hobbies. Below is a brief glance at what they shared with us.
Butler was born and raised in Vermont on the dairy farm that his family bought in 1926. He planned to attend the University of Vermont, but was instead drawn to stay and work on the family farm in a time of hardship — and it became his life’s work.

The class of 2021.5 graduation marked the first Feb graduation where the original Febs were in the minority but it may not be the last. Ultimately, many of us find ourselves graduating with a “.5” at the end of our class year despite our initial plans. It’s high time we abandon the stereotype ...
