The Center for Community Engagement

Students interested in learning more about the Privilege & Poverty Academic Cluster and Summer Internship program for 2024 can stop by the lobby of Davis Family Library to chat with student members of the cluster. Internship placements are tailored to the students’ interests and range from youth services, the arts, education and local economic development, to law, healthcare and more. For more information, click here. 

Students from the Privilege & Poverty summer internship cohorts will discuss their experiences working with community organizations to address the causes and consequences of economic inequality in Addison County and beyond. We will discuss how their academics prepared them for their community-based work, and how they are integrating what they learned in community back into their academic inquiry. This is a Fall Family Weekend event.

Come visit our research center and museum! Middlebury students are creating an immersive community outreach and engagement experience for Vermonters of all ages who love learning about wildlife and the world of Pokémon. Visitors can touch specimens, ask questions, and collect prizes through speaking with student experts on insects, mammals, and more. Costumes are welcome - we’ll be dressed up too!
