Crisis in Japan

Efforts are underway on campus to respond to the earthquake/tsunami disaster in Japan.  We will share details here as they become available. Students in the Japanese Club and the Believe 4 Kids Club are taking the lead on these efforts.  Please go to http://1000cranesmiddlebury.blogspot.com/ for more information.

On Monday, March 21st, at 6:00 p.m. Middlebury College Carilloneur George Matthew Jr. will perform a carillon concert of Japanese music in Mead Chapel in honor of the people of Japan.  The bells will be heard ringing across the campus, and our community is encouraged to pause for a moment of reflection and prayer.
