A Welcome from President Patton
Greetings from Laurie L. Patton, 17th president of Middlebury.
Transcript
Greetings, future Middlebury student! I’m Laurie Patton, and I’m the president of Middlebury. I love Middlebury, and I’m sure you will too. One of my favorite things about Midd is our physical place in the world. Being here in Vermont, in this natural, peaceful, often breathtakingly beautiful state is truly special. And every day at Midd, we’re surrounded by the power of the outdoors and the inspiration of the natural world. It’s a great part of what energizes our learning, whether that’s in the sciences or languages or humanities or social sciences or arts, or one of our greatest strengths, environmental studies. Here at Midd, perhaps more than any other college in the country, we’re imbued with a profound sense of place. I’m excited for you to come learn with us here, in our community, in this landscape. And keep in mind, this beautiful location is just the beginning. Middlebury is not only one of the nation’s top liberal arts and sciences colleges, but we are also arguably one of the most globally engaged colleges in the country. So at Middlebury, you can discover your place in the world. You’ll have the opportunity to study at Middlebury’s 12 language schools, our 36 schools abroad, and in California at the Middlebury School of International Studies at Monterey. You can have a Middlebury in DC summer internship, take part in funded research around the globe, and be mentored by Middlebury graduates through our international alumni network. There is so much that your admission to Middlebury can lead to next, and I’m eager to see what you’ll do here with us. I look forward to meeting you. Congratulations and welcome to Midd!
