Keeping Tabs on Nuclear Weapons…One Pixel at a Time

Provost's Office
The Middlebury Institute’s James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies is at the forefront of using open source information and technical tools to support nonproliferation and disarmament verification. Satellite imagery, 3-dimensional modeling, geospatial data, new media, and virtual reality applications are key strengths in this work. Such tools extend the ability of non-governmental organizations to identify and determine the capabilities of proliferation-related activities, and track illicit transfers of technology.

Sushi, MiddCakes, and Thrive

The BOLD thrive guide is a cumulative project that the BOLD scholars have been working on for the past year. We imagined this guide to serve as a starting point for first years to begin their navigation through Middlebury and feel better equipped for the journey ahead. In addition to promoting and distributing this guide, we also want to take this time for people to enjoy affirmations, self-love, and delicious food (sushi and middcakes)!
