MiddCORE is a mentor-driven, experiential-learning program that builds skills, creates opportunities, and expands networks for tomorrow’s leaders and innovators.

One person with an idea, even with a great idea, changes nothing. Visionaries succeed in leadership skills, communication skills, and entrepreneurial insights. Building those skills and insights is the CORE of MiddCORE.

The key to the MiddCORE experience is our mentors. Each has a proven record of accomplishment in their fields, and a demonstrated ability to teach others the tools for success. MiddCORE mentors develop hands-on challenges that inspire students to think creatively, operate outside their comfort zone, and deal with ambiguity. They help students build capacities, identify opportunities, and become effective leaders. Students leave confident, resourceful, and prepared to lead. (See our testimonials).

Brief History: MiddCORE grew out of a partnership between founding Professor Michael Claudon and a group of successful Middlebury alumni. They shared the goal of connecting the academy with the world beyond to ensure that students graduated with the tools that would allow them to succeed optimally. MiddCORE has grown considerably since its inception in 2008, yet it remains focused on providing students with the knowledge base and skills that will leave them prepared for life and work.
