Life After Graduating
(09/14/23 10:00am)
When you were in first grade, you probably went on to second grade without much thought. And from second to third and all the way through elementary, middle and high school. What’s crazy about the first roughly 18 years of your life is that you go to school… and that’s all. Maybe you’re involved in some extracurriculars, like sports or clubs, or an afterschool job, but, generally, your focus is on being a student. Senior year of high school rolls around and some people decide they’ve had enough, but many students today decide to go on to college. So you keep plugging along through four more years of college until suddenly you’re sleep deprived and giddy walking across a stage in a black gown trying to squint through the sun and not drop your diploma and cane. Or at least that was my graduation experience.

Supreme Court decision against affirmative action creates new challenges for Middlebury’s admissions policies
(07/14/23 7:20pm)
On June 29, the Supreme Court issued rulings on two cases that prohibit affirmative action in college admissions, restricting how a prospective student’s race can be used in evaluating their application. The reversal of a longstanding acceptance of an applicant’s race as one factor in a holistic admissions process has prompted questions about how Middlebury will comply with the new decision while striving to maintain a diverse student body.

We Appreciate Your Business
(05/15/23 7:00pm)
I write this anonymously because I don’t want it to negatively impact my boss or their business, so please think of this as a public service announcement, rather than an accusation. There have been recent changes in how local restaurants are approached to cater events for Middlebury College groups and departments, and how this can negatively impact those restaurants must be addressed.

Spiraling through seasons at the Knoll
(05/11/23 10:02am)
Middlebury College’s student-founded garden, the Knoll, was first plowed on an October day in 2002 after months of planning. The garden officially began growing produce in the spring of 2003. As we mark the celebration of its twentieth anniversary, I wonder what the Knoll’s twenty years can teach us about learning and academia, food justice, climate resiliency, community building and radical care. What can it teach us about soil health, flowers and herbs, pollinators and fireflies, and all the love that goes into growing just one ripe tomato? How can we trace the many ways it has enabled students to take root in Addison County, meet local growers and learn the makeup of local food systems?

Be The Match at Middlebury
(05/11/23 10:00am)
Last Wednesday, May 3, the Middlebury football and field hockey teams ran a “Be The Match” event on campus. The first time football held the event in 2022, they registered over 500 students and won ‘Rookie of the Year,’ an award given to the Division 3 school with the most registrations in its first Be the Match Event. This year they joined forces with field hockey in an effort to repeat this success. Be The Match is a vital cause as it helps save the lives of people with life-threatening blood cancer. I chose to volunteer because I found that this organization provides an exceptional opportunity for individuals to make a significant impact on someone’s life. I think it is important that this event continues in future years and that athletics teams at Middlebury continue to use their platforms to promote this type of positive change.
Disorient: Learn about the history and resources the college won’t teach
(05/11/23 10:05am)
As 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 multiple times, despite widespread student retaliation and national news coverage? Is Energy2028 a feasible goal or another instance of institutional greenwashing? Where can we access resources created by students to ensure our academic, social and financial success at Middlebury?

Four years in retrospect: It doesn’t end with Commencement
(05/11/23 10:04am)
For 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. Our non-seniors offered their perspectives on how these changes have shaped their college experience thus far. Of course, the college has developed in ways that were inevitable due to the pandemic’s disruption of both Middlebury and the world at large. As we finish up a year without pandemic restrictions, we must reflect on how students’ priorities have changed and the college has failed to keep up with the changing times.
