Funding Futures
Annual giving powered the Middlebury career of Natasha Woodworth ’11. The studio art and English major and alpine skier then launched her own mountain biking apparel company.
Annual Giving
Goal: $77.5 Million
Few investments influence the day-to-day of Middlebury more than Annual Fund gifts. These flexible, current-use dollars allow us to move quickly to develop new ideas and address urgent challenges. They support distinctive qualities of a Middlebury education: first-year seminars, winter term, study abroad, exceptional facilities, championship athletics. They enable us to keep our promise to meet 100 percent of every student’s demonstrated financial need. Every aspect of Middlebury—from recruiting exceptional new faculty and enhancing students’ global awareness, to providing services to the community and funding student initiatives—relies on annual giving.

What was the high point of your Middlebury year?
Speaker 1:
I have to say, I think it’s been all those quiet moments with friends I get to spend with them, waking up early and seeing them at Ross in the morning, even just walking into town or getting a cup of tea. It’s those moments where I can just slow down and relax with them.
Speaker 2:
Working at the Knoll and getting my hands in the soil because I’m from New York City, so there are not a lot of green spaces.
Speaker 3:
I took a J-term course called the Trial of Jon Snow. And it was really, really interesting because we got to go through this real Vermont case, just kind of framed in the way of Game of Thrones.
Speaker 4:
I think my high point is days like this when everyone’s out on the quad and playing games.
Speaker 5:
Right now actually, I’m working on this final project for my first-year seminar, and it’s a creative project about just anything that happened over the year. And I’m writing a song with a friend.
Speaker 6:
The high point of my Middlebury year was definitely during J-term, where I tried so many things like figure skating, snowboarding. I’m from [inaudible 00:01:09], and it was also my first time seeing snow, so I was like, “This is the chance.”
