Academic Excellence
”I’ve always understood that education, as they say, is a teacher on one end of a log and a student on the other end of a log. That’s the core.”
— D. E. Axinn Professor of English and Creative Writing, Jay Parini

For Every Future: The Campaign for Middlebury

The institution is already more than halfway toward that goal, with commitments totaling $465 million.
