Good Morning Middlebury is an HR recognition program that invites managers and supervisors to take a person or small team out for breakfast to start the day energized and build team camaraderie!

Instructions for Registering

The program is available on both Vermont and California campuses, with small nuances on available dates and times.

  • 7:00 am - 9:30 am in Vermont (NOT AVAILABLE May 24, 2026 through June 15, 2026) 
    8:00 am - 9:30 am in California - when Ardent Culinare (Samson Cafe) is open

To register, supervisor and managers will complete the Good Morning Middlebury form 48 hours prior to date.

  • Middlebury campus: Notify the checker at the door that you are there for this breakfast program.
  • Monterey campus: Notify Ardent Culinare that you are there for this breakfast program.

Please Note: 

  • The form must be submitted at least 48 hours before the day you would like breakfast so we can provide sufficient notice to the dining hall staff.
  • If we have more than 25 people signed up for a specific location on the same day, you might be asked to switch location and/or day. 

The Benefits

  • Create a feel-good working environment—nothing unites people quite as much as free food!
     
  • Build stronger relationships between co-workers and supervisors—it’s the perfect opportunity to get everyone away from their workspace on campus to discuss a range of different topics and ideas in a relaxed environment.
     
  • Encourage higher levels of efficiency—a great way to supply them with enough energy to complete work tasks along with open communication with the team.
