Class Deans
Class Deans are responsible for supporting students as they navigate academic policies and processes and are frequently the first point of contact for students encountering challenges in their time at Middlebury. They also provide important advice and support to faculty working with struggling students. Finally, they serve as critical referral agents when students need additional supports from other College offices.
Academic Process Supported
In the 24/25 academic year, Class Deans assisted students with nearly 1000 academic processes
Highlight: Ongoing Student Relationships
Rebounding from academic challenges does not happen overnight. It requires sustained effort from students and sustained support from offices around campus. As one of the most critical providers of this support, Class Deans form sustained, ongoing relationships with hundreds of students every semester. As one of the College’s frontline sources of support for these academically struggling students, Class Deans were instrumental in many of these success stories.
