Grab a group of friends or colleagues and come flex your Black history muscles! We will have several rounds of questions with categories such as Music, Movies, People, Sayings, History, YKTV. Make sure you have a team of no more than 6 people. The winning team will gain $150 worth of Visa gift cards!

We will be hosting a Sunday morning service “From Harlem To Heaven!” led by Midd community leader Francois Clemmons. We will come together in celebration and reverence of how far we have come as a Black community in America and to celebrate the triumphs of those who came before us. While this service will have some Christian pieces involved, this is mainly a cultural celebration and is open to Black, other POC, and allies of the Black community.

This event is open to all students, faculty, staff, and Middlebury community members.

Visit with WordSlut Author, Amanda Montell. Amanda, reporter and feminist linguist, deconstructs language—from insults and cursing, gossip, and catcalling, to grammar and pronunciation patterns—to reveal the ways it has been used for centuries to keep women and other marginalized genders from power. Ever wonder why so many people are annoyed when women talk with vocal fry or use the word like as a filler? Or why certain gender-neutral terms stick and others don’t? Or where stereotypes of how women and men speak come from in the first place?
