Last month, the Institute Board of Advisors met in Middlebury. The three constituent advisors shared updates with the IBA about the impacts on students, staff, and faculty of the decision to wind down MIIS’s degree programs. Their dispatches were thoughtful, well-researched and heartfelt, and the IBA leadership acknowledged the contributions after the meeting in a letter to the MIIS community sent on November 10.
