Well-Being at Middlebury
Well-being describes an integration of the multiple aspects of life that enables our bodies, minds, and spirits to thrive. Attention to well-being acknowledges our desire for a life in which we balance our physical, mental, relational, spiritual, and emotional needs, as a foundation for living lives of consequence.
The well-being of our faculty and staff is a top priority, as it enables the College to fulfill its mission to prepare students to lead engaged, consequential, and creative lives, contribute to their communities, and address the world’s most challenging problems.
As a member of the Green Mountain Higher Education Consortium, Middlebury offers its employees a plethora of resources to support all five domains of well-being: career, financial, physical, social, and community.
Employees and their families are encouraged to take advantage of these resources. Additionally, employees are encouraged to explore the services available through Human Resources and the Employee and Family Assistance Program. Faculty are invited to contact the academic administration with concerns or ideas related to well-being.
Faculty Reviews
Faculty on both regular and term appointments are subject to periodic reviews by either the Promotions Committee or the Reappointments Committee (see Faculty Committees). The principles and procedures governing faculty reviews are described in detail in the faculty handbook, and all participants in reviews should consider that the definitive source on review procedures.
