Academic Excellence
”I’ve always understood that education, as they say, is a teacher on one end of a log and a student on the other end of a log. That’s the core.”
— D. E. Axinn Professor of English and Creative Writing, Jay Parini
Giving
The Panther Challenge is ON!
4 Days. 3,500 Gifts. One Panther Family.
October 13–16
You know the grit, dedication, and pride that define Middlebury’s student-athletes, and the lifelong bonds that come with it. Every October, Panthers everywhere come together to make sure today’s teams have what they need to compete and succeed.
Last year we crushed our goal by 400+ gifts. This year, let’s hit 3,500.
Your gift helps:
- Equip our teams to train and compete at their best
- Attract and retain standout student-athletes and coaches
- Support Panthers academically, athletically, and personally
Bonus: Unlock $25,000
Two anonymous alumni donors will unlock an extra $25,000 for the Athletic Director’s Discretionary Fund once we hit 2,026 gifts to any team or athletics fund.
Every gift counts. Let’s break the record.
For Every Future: The Campaign for Middlebury
