Elissa Asch, Middlebury GSFS alum and founder of Consent Wise, is here to teach us about consent within campus cultures! This approximately 90-minute workshop addresses the nightlife and sexual experiences of students and young adults today and offers them tools to shift from a default hookup culture to an intentional consent culture. 

We are excited to share that John Fullerton will be at Middlebury College on January 8, 2026, for a special event celebrating the launch of his new book, Regenerative Economics: Revolutionary Thinking for a World in Crisis.

He’ll be joined by Donna Ramirez-Harrington, Chair of UVM’s Department of Economics and Affiliate with the Gund Institute for the Environment, for a conversation exploring the core ideas of regenerative economics and what it means for the future of business, finance, and our global systems.

Join the Sustainability and Environmental Affairs (SEA) team to hear about upcoming on-campus paid spring and summer internship opportunities and application/hiring timelines.

Learn what it’s like to work with The Knoll, Sustainability Solutions Lab, Climate Action Fellowship, EcoReps, and Weybridge House. Find more info on the SEA website.

This is a time for you to dig in and find something to do this summer! There will be active support from peer career advisors who will be available to assist you in your searching. Come with specific ideas of the type of thing you’re looking for, or just a general idea is fine too. Peer advisors can show you resources and tools to help you navigate the search the best way possible in Handshake, Midd2Midd and more. This is not a lecture, so get ready to be busy and make progress!
