At 10:28 p.m. on Sunday night, the college received a call reporting an ongoing shooting and mass casualty incident in the Davis Family Library. After an investigation that included a search and evacuation of the building, law enforcement concluded that the call was a hoax — one of an increasing number of swatting calls targeting academic institutions. But for an hour and a half — while many students hid in dark rooms and behind barricaded doors, while others were confronted by armed police and escorted to guarded safe zones — the threat appeared incredibly real. By failing to quickly inform the campus community about the event, the college left students to bear the burden of responding on their own during the crucial hours of the situation.

At It Happens Here, an annual tradition at Middlebury since 2011, members of the student body gather to hear the stories of sexual violence from their peers. This tradition began with Margo Cramer ’12 and Luke Carroll Brown ’13.5 as a way to give power to the voices of survivors. Elevating and recognizing narratives of sexual violence is important because these experiences have often remained unvoiced. We hope that in sharing stories as a collective, we foster a safe space for people to process their trauma.

I’ll never forget my 17-year old self, just two months away from starting my academic career at Middlebury College, wearing a SoHo beauty supply store pair of lashes and trying to strut my way into one of Brooklyn’s top drag competitions. I held my close friend’s hand while simultaneously trying to break in a new pair of high heels and glue on my last few press-on nails, all while making my best effort not to trip on the bumpy concrete street. Little did I know, I was about to discover the importance of fostering a community within the drag scene and apply this to Middlebury College’s campus.

During our years at Middlebury, many of us have grown accustomed to Vermont’s famously harsh winter conditions. Whether you’re a hardened New England native or a sun-tanned California beach-goer, we’ve all learned to cope with howling wind, sub-zero temps and every variety of frozen precipitation imaginable. This year, however, was a different story: temperatures soared into the 50s throughout December and January, a welcome change for many students and longtime Vermonters alike.
