   March 29 Letter to the Community from President Patton

   March 29, 2020 | by Laurie Patton

   As we wind down spring break and head into the second half of a semester in which we are trying something completely new, we thought it was a good time to share an overview of our work with the entire community. My guess is that in your reading about the COVID-19 pandemic, many of you have come across the phrase “social distancing does not mean social isolation.” This past week has brought us a number of ways in which we are trying to realize that statement. I believe we are doing it with the values and dispositions that I have come to think of as distinctly Middlebury: integrity, rigor, connectedness, curiosity, and openness.

   March 21 Letter to the Middlebury Community from President Patton

   March 21, 2020 | by Laurie Patton

   We are isolated now. The Vermont campus is emptier than it was. As I got out of my car on Tuesday to retrieve things from my office, I heard bells. Bells? The Carillon? I thought there must be something happening at Mead. But no, there couldn’t be. And then I realized: George Matthew is playing to inspire us, to orient us, to keep us together. Indeed, nothing was happening at Mead Chapel. And yet everything was.

   Positive COVID-19 Test in Addison County

   March 18, 2020 | by David Provost and Mark Peluso

   Today, Porter Medical Center announced that an individual in Addison County has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. It is our understanding that the individual was tested by Porter’s drive-through service after being screened via telemedicine. The patient is receiving care, following CDC guidelines, and self-isolating at home. We ask all community members to respect the individual’s privacy and avoid speculation and rumor as to their identity.

    Middlebury’s Academic Program

    March 16, 2020 | by Jeff Cason and Sujata Moorti

    We recognize that the last week has been an extraordinary one, one in which we have all had to dramatically change the way we think about our communities and our connections to one another. We hope that as most of you have left campus, your journeys went as smoothly as possible, given the circumstances. And we hope that you have at least begun to settle into your new, and unanticipated, living arrangements.
