I write to offer my deep congratulations to all of you on the occasion of our graduates receiving their degrees from Middlebury, and my special congratulations to the members of the Class of 2020 themselves.
As we close out the academic year, we’re writing to share the plan for returning your belongings that we’ve been storing on campus since the spring break.
We hope this finds you well and successfully completing your academic work, which we know hasn’t been easy during this semester of unprecedented challenges. Traditionally, this is the time of year to gather and celebrate your hard work and accomplishments. And it’s natural to want to gather together.
On Monday, the College informed students who remain in campus housing for Spring Term that they will not be able to stay on campus during the summer. The College’s senior leadership made this difficult decision after careful consideration of many factors. (The announcement is here.) The College will continue to provide housing and meals to students on campus through Sunday, May 31.
We are writing to you today about Middlebury’s policies for work at any Middlebury location, in order to comply with local executive orders. Our first priority is the safety of all our employees.

I hope you’re well and have been finding ways to get the most from the semester in this extraordinary time. The Student Life team and I know it hasn’t been easy, and we admire the way you’ve navigated difficult terrain. We appreciate all you’re doing to stay healthy and mindful of the well-being of the whole Midd community.
We wanted to update you on some decisions regarding summer activities on campus, as we know that students are concerned about making their summer plans and that faculty are also in the process of planning for the summer, as we head into this unusual summer for all of us.
We write to follow up on our April 24 message about guidance on returning to work. We want to share with you what is taking place initially and what will be the next step.
