You can find more details in Middlebury’s pet policy.

Service animals shall be allowed into any area of the campus that students or other handlers may go including the classrooms, libraries, museums, dining halls, etc., but must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.

Please read the full service animal policy for more information.

Children of all ages are welcome at Reunion! We have some activities geared toward children and families but children are welcome at all Reunion events.
