MIDDLEBURY, Vt. ? Today, Friday, April 10, Fortune magazine published a story on its Web site about Middlebury College titled “Hard times on campus: Even elite colleges can’t escape the impact of the economic slump. Here’s how one New England school is working to stay on top in the face of a smaller endowment, needier students, and the bursting of the higher-ed bubble.” 

The article will also appear in the April 27 hard copy edition, which will be available on newsstands beginning the week of April 13. 

The story discusses admissions and financial aid at Middlebury as well as how the college is handling the budget challenges it faces as a result of the economic downturn.  Middlebury College President Ronald D. Liebowitz, some senior staff members and several students were interviewed for the story. A number of photos are included.
