It has been two years since Middlebury College student Nick Garza went missing, since the College and the town joined together in search parties, since the surrounding community felt the first pangs of his absence, the uncertainty of his disappearance and eventually the news of his death.

All great schools have great traditions. There’s the Bonfire on Dartmouth Night, the Doghead St. Patrick’s Day party at Colby and the festive parade floats at Faber College, but none can compare to Winter Carnival at Middlebury.
