Interested in Becoming a Teacher Mentor? Teacher’s College Columbia University
Hello Middlebury students!
The Office of Admission at Teachers College would love to meet you this fall, so mark those calendars! We invite you to join us at a variety of dynamic virtual events we will be hosting that are accessible from anywhere. A full calendar of our offerings can be found here, but I would like to highlight a few in particular that you might find especially beneficial.
Our Virtual Open Houses are a great way to explore the unique community that is Teachers College, Columbia University. During these sessions you will hear directly from admission and financial aid representatives, a panel of faculty, and current students. You will also have the opportunity to learn more about your academic department of interest in a breakout session.
For a simple overview of TC’s history, mission, academics, research opportunities, and application process, we invite you to join an Admission Virtual Information Session, which will be led by a TC Admission staff member and include an Q&A session at the end. We also encourage you to tune in to one of our Virtual Tours, which are narrated by the voices who know the student experience best: (drum roll please…) our very own Student Ambassadors!
Need tips, have questions, or simply want to get a better picture of our application process? If so, attend our Admission Virtual Workshop on Crafting an Ideal TC Application! During this session, we will demystify the graduate school application process, while providing key tips on how you can strengthen your application materials.
While we won’t be traveling this fall, we will be attending an array of Virtual Graduate Fairs hosted by schools and organizations around the country. Feel free to stop by our (virtual) table and chat with a TC Admission representative!
Finally, our dedicated admission liaisons represent each of our programs and will be happy to offer one on one assistance whenever it is needed. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your program’s liaison with any questions!
We look forward to connecting with you further on your pathway to graduate school!

Now Onboarding Sophomores for MiddMentors!
Looking for a dedicated (but informal) mentor to help you explore longer-term goals, develop professional competencies, or explore what it means to navigate life at Middlebury?
Then join MiddMentors! With MiddMentors, you get to build a connection with an alumni mentor matched to your goals and objectives.
Our volunteer alumni mentors come from all over the globe, and represent an incredible diversity of experiences and backgrounds. Select from Cirque du Soleil aerialists, startup founders, volcanologists, corporate executives, award-winning writers, surgeons and psychologists, educators, human rights attorneys, coders, athletes, bankers and traders, veterinarians, Zen practitioners, to name a few…
After you’re paired with your mentor, you’ll embark on monthly conversations, guided by a flexible curriculum. Along the way, we support you with CCI advising appointments, resource pages, and email consults.
This is a developmental experience–not an evaluative one. In exchange for a small amount of prep, you get access to stellar advice and viewpoints from an alum who has already walked the path you’re hoping to take.
