Faculty Stories: Jessica Teets, Political Science

Middlebury College faculty come from many varied backgrounds, but something drew them to this tight-knit community in Vermont. In short video vignettes, “Faculty Stories” gives a taste of the diverse pathways that Middlebury faculty followed to teaching and scholarship at a liberal arts institution.

Teets says that growing up in the beautiful, yet isolated, mountains of eastern West Virginia, most of her high school classmates did not consider higher education a likely choice. She describes her earlier self as an indifferent student, but then things changed.
