Alumni Engagement

Celebrate James Beard Award winners Rob and Robynne and their impact on American food and drink. Rob’s founding of Allagash Brewing Company helped ignite the craft brewing revolution, while Robynne’s restaurants, Fête and Mille Fête, honor Native Hawaiian cuisine through tradition and reinvention. Hear their stories and enjoy a mini pairing of Allagash beer alongside a taste of a Vermont-inspired dish from Chef Robynne, infused with Hawaiian flair and created especially for Reunion 2026.

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

Feel free to drop in if you need to get away. Virtue Field House Director’s Conference Room, Room 279.

Mingle with friends old and new in Nelson Recreation Center 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. Please remember to wear your lanyard, and be prepared to show ID at the bar. Shuttles from the main campus will circulate to and from Nelson throughout the evening. 

After dinner, continue the fun on Battell Beach with live music from Brad Corrigan & the Waves, featuring Brad Corrigan ’96 of Dispatch; Mike Nunziante ’19, fresh off international tours with country artist Meghan Patrick; Paul Beaubrun of Arcade Fire; Reinaldo DeJesus, Grammy award-winning percussionist; Dave Preston; and Tim Snider. Please remember to wear your lanyard, and be prepared to show ID at the bar.

From state policy and advocacy to food systems and renewable energy development, Middlebury alumni are leading efforts to address climate change across sectors. Join Mike Alonzo ’01, Megan Brakeley ’06, May Boeve ’06, Ben Jervey ’01, Lauren Redfield ’11, and Whitney Tome ’01 for a panel moderated by Minna Brown ’07. Together, they’ll share how they’ve navigated their careers, the trends shaping their work, where they find reasons for optimism, and what they hope for the next generation of Middlebury students.

The class of 1976 is invited to the roof of Bicentennial Hall for stargazing with the faculty and staff of the Mittelman Observatory. Meet in the Great Hall in Bicentennial Hall after dinner to learn more about the Mittelman observatory (and get a sneak peek of the new Quantitative Center!) while waiting to visit the rooftop observation deck in small groups to observe the stars through various telescopes.  

The Knoll offers opportunities for academic involvement, community connections, and environmental stewardship. Meet the summer interns, enjoy the gardens, and walk the labyrinth.
