Middlebury is an institution that prepares students to address the world’s most challenging problems, and it does so by engaging them in the life of the mind and soul.
At Middlebury, we are committed to educating students in the tradition of the liberal arts, which embodies a method of discourse as well as a group of disciplines; in our scientifically and mathematically oriented majors, just as in the humanities, the social sciences, the arts, and the languages, we emphasize reflection, discussion, and intensive interactions between students and faculty members. Our vibrant residential community, remarkable facilities, and the diversity of our cocurricular activities and support services all exist primarily to serve these educational purposes.
Additionally, Middlebury College's Environmental Studies Program was founded in 1965 and is the oldest undergraduate ES program in the United States and is well equipped to help today’s students explore those solutions. The Climate Action Program was launched in fall 2020 and aims to provide all Middlebury College students with the knowledge, motivation, and capacity needed to be effective and transformative leaders on climate change across backgrounds, disciplines, and career paths.
This event is also sponsored by the Middlebury Center for Careers and Internships!
