Students and faculty exchange ideas at the Spring Student Symposium.

Leadership, creative thought, and intellectual risk taking: these are skills that many Middlebury students are eager to develop as they look ahead to four years of college and life beyond.

And there are a multitude of experiential learning opportunities for you, on and off campus. Through career exploration, classes, funding competitions, symposiums, service learning, and volunteer opportunities, as well as workspaces for ideation and collaboration, Middlebury helps students try new things and take their creative ideas forward.

  • Center for Careers and Internships: Connects students to a range of resources, guiding them through the career-exploration process throughout all four years and providing summer and winter term internship opportunities. 
  • Innovation Hub: Offers programs and financial support that help make intellectual risk taking and creative problem solving second nature to Middlebury students. 
  • Center for Community Engagement: Provides opportunities for students to explore civic identity and pursue projects in collaboration with communities—all while striving to contribute to the public good.
