Middlebury Celebrates Fall Family Weekend!

Fall Family Weekend Welcome Center

Every autumn, we invite families to join us at Fall Family Weekend and enjoy Vermont and our beautiful campus with their students. Check in at the Welcome Center and ask your questions, find out about weekend options, get a campus map, and grab some refreshments to take with you.

This event opens with an update from event sponsor Middlebury Veterans Give Back (MVGB) and remarks from President Patton. Presentation by the Arlington National Cemetery’s curator, Rod Gainer. Rod also has a Middlebury connection in that he is the stepson of Joe Wood ’68 and nephew to Peter Wood ’71. This presentation is about our Nation’s perpetual memorial to those who served on behalf of our country.
