Adirondack House
534 College St.
Middlebury, VT
United States

The Center for Education in Action is the principal occupant of Adirondack House, though the building is also home to offices for the Salzburg Seminar and the Davis World College Scholars program, while the African American Alliance holds meetings in Coltrane Lounge, named for jazz legend John Coltrane.  Education in Action (EIA) advisers and resources focus on areas of civic engagement; career exploration; health professions; fellowships; and internships, both traditional and self-designed.  They help find opportunities—locally and around the world—to volunteer, craft international immersion experiences, explore career options and ideas, find internships, prepare for graduate study, identify fellowships, and locate funding for projects. As you head toward senior year, EIA also provides on-campus and off-campus recruiting programs and advice on graduate school application processes.

History

Originally known as "Battell Cottage," Adirondack House was once a traditional Victorian farmhouse. Acquired by the College in 1909 along with Twichell farm, the house was meant to serve as part of the College's women's campus, providing space for a large dining hall. Today, that dining space is known as Coltrane Lounge.
