    One of the moments we look forward to during January Term each year is the opportunity to lift up and honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We will host a dinner to discuss the intersections of social justice work and religious life. This will be a chance to eat some delicious vegetarian food together in small groups and have some guided discussion around the table about this topic.

    Mahaney Arts Center and Elizabeth Hackett Robinson ’84 Innovation Hub

    This interactive public art installation invites members of the Middlebury community to reflect on what matters most. By sharing personal hopes and aspirations on a communal wall, the project fosters connection, introspection, and a celebration of our shared humanity. Inspired by the global Before I Die project, this installation transforms public space into a canvas for gratitude, memory, and possibility.

    The students in JAPN 290 (“Reading the Tale of Genji” in English”) and Prof. Otilia Milutin (Japanese Studies) are cordially inviting you and your students to view their exhibit, “Living with Genji: The World’s First Novel in 21st Century Japan.” The exhibit features a selection of objects, artwork, movies, and manga inspired by the 11th century classic The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu.  Our exhibit aims to showcase a few selected items that speak both of the tale’s enduring legacy in traditional Japanese arts, and, equally important, of its contemporary reiterations, be they manga and movies adaptations or commercial, consumer-oriented products such as mascots, stationary, fabrics, and other everyday objects.  Through our exhibit, we hope to demonstrate how a millennium old classic lives and thrives today in contemporary Japan.

  • Carol Rifelj Lecture Series: Hungry Monsters: Feeding and Quenching of Black Holes

    Sponsored by:
    Dean of Faculty

    The existence of supermassive black holes, with millions to billions of times the mass of the Sun, residing at the centers of galaxies throughout the universe is well supported by a substantial body of indirect and, more recently, direct imaging evidence. When mass is pulled into a black hole gravitationally, in a process called ‘accretion’, a tremendous amount of energy is released signaling this growth in the form of a ‘quasar’. This growth is stochastic and episodic with a variety of routes for triggering and quenching.

    Seniors: Interviewing like a Pro

    Sponsored by:
    Center for Careers & Internships

    Do you have an interview coming up?  Or maybe you’ve had some recently that could have gone better?  In this session you’ll learn best practices for standing out in your introductions (“tell me about yourself”), fit-based interviews (“why do you want to work here?”) and behavioral interviews (“tell me about a time you had to handle a disagreement”). We will review strategies for responding to common questions and inventory prep resources including a new practice interview tool, Big Interview. Open to all students graduating in Feb or May 2026.
