Connections Are Everything

More than a networking event, Middlebury Career Connections was where Middlebury’s community came alive through shared stories, guidance, and the start of lifelong professional relationships.

On October 3, 2025, the Johnson Memorial Building buzzed with activity as more than 45 alumni and parent volunteers returned to campus for Middlebury Career Connections,an evening designed to spark meaningful conversations between students and professionals from across industries. Over light snacks and lively discussion, students explored new career paths, and built relationships.

Co-sponsored by the Family Philanthropy Circle and the Center for Careers and Internships, this event celebrated what makes Middlebury’s network so powerful: curiosity, generosity, and a shared commitment to helping students with what’s next.
