Social Media Manager’s Pick – Matt Held ’26
Do children learn from their parents, or do parents learn from their children?
Since passing the 500-point milestone, Noah Osher ’23.5 has been acutely aware of his path to joining the 1000-point club. Heading into Middlebury’s game against Bowdoin College on Jan. 12, his sights were set on the minimum of 22 points he needed to achieve a career-long goal. Averaging 17.9 points per game so far this season, whether or not Osher would hit 1,000 points by the end of the season looked like a certainty heading into last weekend’s double competitions against Bowdoin and Colby College, but the captain hoped to do it after just the first game on Friday night.

For most Middlebury students, the end of exams in December signifies a return home and a break from the regular routine of school life.

Starting at the beginning of J-Term, the dining hall closes between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m., and does not serve breakfast until 10 a.m. on weekends, a departure from the continuous dining that began this fall. Ross has also returned to a more varied menu, serving options other than the more limited range of pub food favorites it provided in the fall.
With every new academic year comes a new class of seniors making LinkedIn posts about their post-graduation plans. These announcements range from “I’d like to thank my parents and teachers…” to “I wouldn’t be in this position if it wasn’t for Middlebury…”. One field that is always well represented at the college is finance.
Middlebury College is set to witness history on Saturday, Feb. 3, when the largest Feb class ever will graduate. While the class of 2023.5 will still ski down in one form or another during their graduation, as is tradition, the location for the annual Ski Down remains uncertain. The college plans to make the final decision on its location by Jan. 25, stating that if there is enough snow at the Middlebury Chapel Hill to ski down, the event will be held there.
After years of building excitement, this winter, the Middlebury Snow Bowl has opened for night skiing for the first time. The bowl is now open for night skiing Wednesday through Friday, when the Sheehan lift runs until 8:45 p.m. instead of the usual 4 p.m.

Despite falling short of its goal, men’s soccer can still reflect on a successful season.
The Middlebury field hockey team capped off another successful season with an NCAA Championship win for the sixth straight year. An impressive feat to say the least, their dominance in the sport has been spurred by a relentless pursuit to play at the top of their game.

This was the third straight year the two teams have met in the final, with the Panthers emerging victorious every time.
