Middlebury College included in new book "Colleges with a Conscience"

Book recognizes college’s community service program

The book’s editors also invited organizations with expertise in campus community service to nominate colleges for inclusion based on criteria covering three major areas: the college’s admissions practices and scholarships rewarding community service; the level of social engagement of the school’s student body; and the college’s support for service-learning programs, student activism, and student voice in school governance.

Once the book’s editors had narrowed the selection to 96 schools, they collected extensive data about the institutions’ service programs and policies through surveys of the schools’ students, faculty and staff.
