Submit or Search Partnership Ideas

Are you looking for project ideas? Middlebury faculty collaborators?

We created a space for community organizations to explore and submit ideas for partnerships with Middlebury College faculty members.

Middlebury Liberal Arts in Action (MLAA)

Middlebury Liberal Arts in Action (MLAA) is a web-based platform that aims to facilitate reciprocal relationships with Middlebury faculty and community partners within the context of Middlebury classes and research programs. MLAA allows faculty to share details of courses and research programs looking to incorporate community-connected work, and it provides community partners the opportunity to share project needs and ideas.

CCE staff solicit projects for the website, hold one-on-one meetings with faculty and partners to help develop project ideas, and conduct individual outreach to partners and faculty to help make matches for projects.

Through this platform, Middlebury Faculty can:

• Submit a partnership opportunity
• Explore opportunities posted by community partners
• Review resources for faculty and example partnership projects
• Schedule a one-on-one consultation with the MLAA team at the Center for Community Engagement

Are you collaborating with a community member or organization already, and want some help around structure and assessment? Or do you simply want to talk through your ideas with a CCE colleague? In addition to reviewing the resources for faculty on the MLAA site, feel free to also reach out to the CCE staff member who seems most closely aligned with your discipline and/or goals. If you’re not sure who might be the best contact, please contact Kailee Brickner-McDonald at kaileebricknermcdonald@middlebury.edu.
