Special Edition: Election Issue 2020

We don’t have to tell you how important this election year is. Over the past months, we at The Campus have watched the Middlebury community dive headfirst into activism, organizing and getting out the vote — and we’ve been busy, too. Just as politics has permeated every part of our lives, you’ll notice that the issue spans all five of our sections: below, you’ll find coverage of local and national races, interviews with elected officials (and election hopefuls), a podcast about the intersection of athletics and politics and an op-ed about the role of politics in romance, among much more. 

This year, we’re also advocating with many of our NESCAC peer publications that Election Day should be a college holiday. Speaking of Election Day, check out our guide to voting in Middlebury — and for more about the making of this issue, read our Notes from the Desk. To quote from it, “Thank you for reading, and thank you for caring. So much is at stake.”
