High Meadows Fund 2-Yr. Post-Grad Fellowship-Info Session 12/4
You are invited to join an Information Session to learn more about the High Meadows Fund 2-year post-graduate Fellowship offered exclusively to Princeton and Middlebury seniors graduating between December 2018-May 2019. Tomorrow’s event, Tuesday, December 4th, is at 4:30 in The Franklin Environmental Center at Hillcrest (Room 103). Hear from current fellow, Will Lathrop, Environmental Philanthropy Associate and a Princeton graduate. He will discuss his day-to-day work on sustainability issues throughout the state of Vermont and in particular how a community’s values inform their land use.
Here is a description from the the High Meadows Fund of the issues they work on:
Climate disruption threatens Vermont’s communities and working landscape. It is urgent Vermonters address it head-on by both lowering their contribution to a warming planet and adapting to the changes already underway. High Meadows applies this sense of urgency in three areas of focus:
- Land Use: Encouraging working farms and forests, compact settlements, and watershed land use that protects communities, soil, and water quality.
- Clean and Efficient Energy: Lowering fossil fuel use, especially in homes of low income Vermonters.
- Farm, Food and Forest Enterprises: Promoting vibrant enterprises as well as healthy ecosystems.
We do our work through charitable grantmaking, research, convenings, direct engagement of our staff, and investing for mission impact. We particularly value social and marketplace innovation and collaboration.
Please see our website, www.highmeadowsfund.org, for more information and join the event tomorrow to learn more about the position or contact thimmeli[at]middlebury.edu if you cannot attend.

Teaching Fellowship Opportunity @ Pingree School in MA
This opportunity for a teaching fellowship who happens to be a Middlebury Italian Language School graduate:
I am writing about a opportunity for Middlebury graduates and Middlebury language school graduates who are interested in a career in teaching in Independent schools.
After completing my masters degree at La Scuola Italiana in 2011, I experimented with working in different fields such as Study Abroad and Outdoor Education. In August 2017 I began the most recent stop on my journey, working as a Spanish Teaching Fellow at Pingree School, just north of Boston in Hamilton, Massachusetts.
The Pingree Fellowship Program is nearing the end of its first rotation and is looking to recruit recent college graduates from underrepresented backgrounds for the 2019-2020 school year (See mission statement below).
“The Pingree Fellowship Program works with talented, developing professionals to introduce the craft of teaching. In line with Pingree’s school mission statement, “a love of learning flourishes best in a diverse community,” the Pingree Fellowship seeks to identify and work with promising people from traditionally underrepresented populations in independent schools. We aim to provide fellows with the opportunity to teach, coach, and advise, preparing them for a career in independent schools.” via Pingree Fellowship Program Homepage
This has been a fantastic opportunity for me to grow as an individual and have an impact on young people as a teacher, coach and mentor. I even had the chance to teach an elective course on Italian cinema during the final trimester last school year! I wanted to reach out to you in the hopes of communicating and promoting this position. I am happy to speak further over the phone or send promotional pamphlets. Please let me know where best to promote this opportunity.
Spero che tutto vada bene da voi! Ci sentiamo presto.
Cordiali saluti,
Jim DiCenzo
