The Center for Community Engagement

Join us for a light brunch and reflective discussion with Mikaela Lefrak ‘10 - journalist, host and senior producer at Vermont Public. Mikaela will discuss her career in journalism, and how her experiences at Middlebury - including her summer as part of what has become the Privilege & Poverty Academic Cluster’s national internship cohort with the Shepherd Higher Education Consortium on Poverty - shaped her career and experiences. 

Interested in exploring the dynamics of economic inequality through community work next summer? Looking for a deeply engaging and meaningful paid summer experience? Join recent P&P interns and alums to learn about the Privilege & Poverty Academic Cluster summer internships, both local and national. Come with curiosity, questions and a hunger for great conversation and food!

Removed by Force: The Eviction of Hawai`i’s Japanese Americans During World War II. This one-hour documentary sheds light on the relatively unknown experiences of the 1,500 Americans of Japanese ancestry from 23 geographic areas in Hawai`i who were evicted, but not incarcerated, during World War II. Following the screening, we will have a Q&A with the film’s producers and the Middlebury College and International Christian University students who created the Japanese subtitles for the film.

Please join us for a screening of a documentary film, The History of Tenryumura: Embracing truth, memory, and reconciliation. This short film takes place in a rural village in Nagano prefecture in Japan. Through interviews and conversations with elders of the village, we learn about the community’s tragic WWII history – and consider the process of reconciliation.
