  5. Current Students: Update on Fall Plans

    | by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

    The Middlebury Institute is planning a return to primarily in-person instruction starting in the fall of 2021. As we look forward to vaccines becoming more readily available, we also realize that there will be many variables in the fight against this global pandemic that we can neither predict nor control. With that in mind, we are preparing for several scenarios that balance remote and on-site activities––all of which will allow students to return to campus for a meaningful in-person educational experience.
     

  6. Affirming Our Commitment to Democracy

    | by Laurie Patton

This involves, most centrally, an understanding of the structures of our government, the processes of elections, the role of evidence in public discourse, and the peaceful transition of power.
