Last week Middlebury welcomed the latest group of Febs to campus, and here’s what some of them had to say about their semester off. From delivering pizzas and teaching children to saving endangered birds and unicycling over mountains, each and every one of them has a great story to share.

Fall Family Weekend is always a great time for families to get a glimpse of what their kids are up to here on campus, and many faculty members often open up their Friday classes as well. In our latest “Tell Us One Thing” video, Middmag caught up with a handful of parents who learned a thing or two while they were here.

Before leaving town for their next big adventure, a handful of relaxed and reflective graduating seniors took a moment to tell Middmag just what they thought all first years should know. From befriending hallmates and meeting Ron Liebowitz to the Proctor panini machine and swimming hole secrets, you might be surprised by their words of wisdom.

Back at the start of the year, we asked several first-year students to name one “must-have” item they brought from home. We got some great answers and produced this short video. Last week our astute intern, Brendan Mahoney, who just graduated from Middlebury in May, suggested we give the parents a turn during Fall Family Weekend, asking them what their kids requested they bring from home. By pure coincidence, three of the parents we interviewed for the new video had kids in the first video. Can you pick them out? We won’t tell.
