The MIIS Sustainability Council, in association with Fieldwork Brewing, and Real Good Fish Inc., are hosting trivia night (like last year’s hit event), and will be giving students and members of the community a chance to test their intellect on environmental issues. Winning teams will receive a gift card, and Real Good Fish will be providing delicious fish taco’s (from a sustainable source) while Fieldwork Brewing provides libations to attendees. The event will last from 7PM to about 930PM.

Middlebury Institute of International Studies’ Committee on Art in Public Places (CAPP) in partnership with Gallery Sur invites students, staff, faculty, alumni, and the Monterey community to meet Shona stone sculptor Moses Nyanhongo from Zimbabwe for a free outdoor sculpting demonstration at the Holland Student Center on the Middlebury Institute campus from 5-7 PM, September 26, 2019. The event will be repeated at Gallery Sur Carmel from 11-3 on Sunday, September 29. Light refreshments and Zimbabwean hospitality will be enjoyed at both locations.

Any student planning on graduating in the winter should attend this meeting. Details and information surrounding the December commencement will be presented, and graduating student speaker nominees will be presenting summaries of their speeches. A free raffle for used gowns donated by previous graduates will take place at the meeting.

The Fund for Innovation is hosting Drop In Hours! This is a great time to come learn more about the FFI, ask questions, and workshop your proposal before the fall deadline in October.

All MIIS faculty and staff and their family members over the age of 18 and MIIS students are invited to get vaccinated at our convenient flu clinic right on campus. Stay well this winter and do your part to protect those around you.
