How We Access, Create, Share,  and Understand Information Is Evolving

midd.data provides equitable and inclusive access to powerful technological tools, develops the skills to apply them across disciplines, and supports the critical exploration of their possibilities and promise.  

Data and digital methodologies are as central to a 21st-century liberal arts education as reading and writing. 

We can use data and digital tools to combine and create information in unprecedented ways. Understanding these tools, techniques, and methods, and applying them in the context of Middlebury’s liberal arts curriculum, is at the heart of MiddData.

• Build the digital and data skills and habits of mind essential for success both in college and in the world.   
• Access data and digital tools that make connections across the curriculum, from the physical sciences to social sciences, from economics to languages and the humanities.
