The Middlebury Institute Board of Overseers met in the Monterey campus on November 14 and 15. In addition to their regular business meetings, Overseers were able to sample several varieties of immersion that characterize learning at MIIS.  Interpretation students shared their experiences interpreting for the Olympics, while another T&I group talked about interpreting for their fellow students who undertook field research in China last summer.  Students, faculty, and the directors of the Andean Alliance explained how we partner with this NGO to work with indigenous communities in Peru.  Overseers also got to see first hand the magic and the hard work that go into business case competitions, where MIIS students tend to shine. A day of exploring the Institute’s programs was capped by a reception at which students practiced their networking skills and Overseers got to see the diversity and depth of experience our students bring to their studies and careers.
