Alumni Engagement

Join Tim Parsons, Head Horticulturist & Visiting Lecturer, for a short walk around campus. He will talk about the College’s trees, shrubs, and flowers, and explain how Middlebury manages the landscape and prepares for the future in a changing world. The tour meets at Davis Family Library and ends at McCullough. 

Join fellow alumni for one last meal together in Proctor or Ross before departing. 

Families are welcome to enjoy popcorn, juice boxes, and lawn games, and stay for one of two magic shows. Please note: kids should be supervised by an adult. 

Come to the kids’ area on Battell Beach for an entertaining magic show with Alyx Hilshey, a nationally touring magician who appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us; tours with the immersive theater show, The Magician’s Table US; and was selected to perform impactful close-up magic for attendees at the five-day TED 2026 conference.

Mingle with friends old and new on Battell Beach and grab a drink or a bite to eat before or after your class’s scheduled dinner. Enjoy tacos from Las Hermosas and pizza from American Flatbread’s mobile oven, as well as a bar with beer, wine, cider, and non-alcoholic options.
