The Knoll
Our student-powered garden offers opportunities to sink hands in soil, research, and connect with community.
The unmistakable urgency of the climate crisis is becoming ever more dire, and Middlebury is rising to meet the moment.
As an international institution, we are poised to use all of our networks, perspectives, and resources to help tackle this daunting challenge head-on.
Aligned with Middlebury’s commitment to prepare students to lead impactful, engaged lives and to tackle society’s most pressing challenges, the Office of Sustainability and Environmental Affairs cultivates experiential learning and institutional action towards a more sustainable and just world.
