Alumni & Parent Programs

The Middlebury College Organic Farm is a three-acre plot of vegetables, fruits and flowers stewarded by Middlebury students. The farm serves as an inclusive space that supports students’ holistic development in an environment that promotes discourse about world food issues. At the farm students learn about agro-ecological systems and small scale food production practices they will be able to use throughout their lives.

MiddCORE is Middlebury’s mentor-driven leadership and innovation immersion program that builds skills and confidence through collaborative, experiential, impact-focused learning. Through daily, weekly, and month-long challenges, students gain experience in leadership, strategic thinking, idea creation, collaboration, persuasive communication, ethical decision-making, cross-cultural understanding, conflict resolution, empathy, and crisis management. Students can apply to take MiddCORE in January on Middlebury’s Vermont campus or in the summer on the shores of Lake Tahoe, NV.

The Center for Careers & Internships and the Student Investment Committee are pleased to host a panel of parent professionals to discuss careers in finance for liberal arts majors and the power of alumni/parent network. Students as well as parents who currently work in the field or who are curious about careers in finance for their Middlebury students are encouraged to attend.
