What’s the one thing that Middlebury students should NOT graduate without doing?

Polar bearing at  Lake Dunmore. 

Design a J-Term class or workshop. 

Since this is imaginary, it would be cool to have a J-Term Class exploring the life of aquatic animals. From November-March, the western coast of Sri Lanka is famous for its whale and dolphin migration sightings. While there we could go scuba diving and learn about the reefs and animals that live there.

If you could “Freaky Friday” your way into the body of any professor on campus, who would it be and why?

In the Spring of my freshman year, I took Acting I with Claudio Medeiros. We had lots of warm up exercises and activities that we had to do which made me feel a little silly. So if I could “Freaky Friday” my way to any Professor on campus it would be Claudio so I could watch us all be silly to see if it was as bad as I thought.  

How would you spend a beautiful day at Middlebury?

A beautiful Saturday or Sunday merits a trip to Lake Dunmore to do nothing but bask in the sun and eat ice cream. A nice weekday would probably mean going into town and taking a long walk for iced coffee at Carol's Hungry Mind Cafe. 

What did you do on your Febmester? Regs, feel free to share what you would have done.

I'm a Reg, but I would've learned how to fly a hot air balloon. I often dream of being experienced enough to fly across the Alps in a balloon, maybe I would've done that too!
