Give Your Car a Break

May 13-17 is Way to Go Week, an annual event where organizations across the state compete to see who can reduce the most carbon pollution in one week.
 
Middlebury College is up for the challenge and we encourage you to participate by taking the bus, riding a bike, walking or carpooling at least one day more than normal during Way to Go Week.
 
 
For help planning your route from home to work check out Middlebury’s transportation page or Way to Go’s site:
 
Motor vehicles are the single greatest contributor to air pollution in Vermont. By reducing the amount of cars driving to campus daily we can significantly reduce the amount of pollutants caused by transportation. It’s also a great way to meet a new friend or enjoy the spring weather (the forecast looks good next week). We hope you’ll join us and have some fun!

International Student & Scholar Services invites you to learn more about our Friends of International Students host program.

  • The program provides a terrific opportunity for you to meet people from around the world, and to connect with a student in an individual way.
  • It’s a friendship program. Contacts between student and family are arranged on your own terms.
  • To date, the Class of 2017 will include more than 60 international students, including some U.S. students who live abroad.
  • In September, we also will welcome over 15 international exchange students.
  • Most of the students participate in our program, so we will need many new hosts.

We will offer several information sessions throughout the summer.
If you are interested in exploring the possibility of serving as a host to an international student, please register to attend one of our information meetings.

  • Our first meeting will be on Wednesday, May 8th, 12:15-1:00 p.m. in the Carr Hall Lounge (Carr Hall is on College Street, and is also marked as the Center for the Comparative Study of Race and Ethnicity).  Please feel free to bring your lunch.

We hope you will be able to join us. However, if you cannot attend a session and are interested in the program, please let us know.  We will schedule additional meetings throughout the summer, with future dates to be announced.

TO REGISTER: Please contact Ben Bruno, ISSS Advisor, by email at isss@middlebury.edu or by telephone at 443-5858. (Your email reply will go directly to the ISSS office mailbox. In either your email or phone message, please provide your name, email address, and phone number.)  Even if you have been a host in the past, please contact us to register for a meeting, both to share your experiences with potential hosts and to learn about the upcoming year of the FIS program!

We invite all who are interested in learning more about the program to attend a meeting.

Leave a reply

Middlebury College will offer its free annual College Counseling Workshop, sponsored by the college’s admissions office, on Friday, June 7 , at McCardell Bicentennial Hall on Bicentennial Way off of College Street (Route 125). The event is open to the public — high school age children of Middlebury alumni, faculty, and staff are invited, as are students from Vermont high schools. Preference is given to high school juniors. The program gives an overview of the general selective college application process and does not focus on Middlebury College. The workshop is from 8:15 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and covers five areas: how to choose a college; how to visit a college; how a college admits its class; financial aid; and understanding the common application.

Following the final presentation, workshop participants may schedule individual afternoon appointments with Middlebury’s Student Financial Services office. Any students who are interested specifically in Middlebury College may join a group information session at 1:30 p.m. Campus tours will take place at 2:30 p.m. Parents are invited to all activities.

Registration for the free workshop is required, and the deadline to register is Tuesday, May 28.  For a complete schedule and to register, visit College Counseling Workshop. Contact the admissions office at aap@middlebury.edu with questions.
