Volunteer for the Middlebury Area Land Trust (MALT)
For the past two years, students have helped the Middlebury Area Land Trust (MALT) as note and minute takers during their board meetings, and they are looking to find some new volunteers!
The MALT board currently meets as a whole board every other month, on the third Tuesday from 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM. For this academic year, they’ll be in November, January, March, and May. The note taker makes a difference by recording the decisions of the board as well as essential points of conversation and debate. This allows all board members to actively participate in the meeting and deliberations.
The value for a student is that they see how a small conservation non-profit operates, plans, and makes decisions. For a student interested in conservation or non-profit management, this is a great opportunity to gain an understanding of the institutional infrastructure needed for a small non-profit to succeed.
MALT’s board member, Patrick Ganey, is happy to answer any questions a student has about the role. Email and texting are the best ways to be in touch, patrick.ganey[at]bc.edu and 802-377-9733.
Have You Ever Wondered If You Were Qualified for the Job?
The right way to read an entry-level job description
Handshake recently published the article “The right way to read an entry-level job description”. Click here to read the complete article including tips on how to read the required qualifications section. If you’ve ever wondered about whether you should actually apply for a job or internship because you don’t meet al the qualifications, think again. “Even though the heading says “required,” this list describes the ideal candidate, who may not exist! If you meet at least 60-70% of the requirements, and you feel you’d excel in the role, apply anyway. (Use your judgment: don’t apply to a role that asks for fluency in Spanish if you only took Spanish 101.)” Learn also how to spot a scam–is it too good to be true?!
What is the Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP)?
The Workforce Recruiting Program for College Students with Disabilities (WRP) is a recruitment and referral program that connects Federal Government and select private-sector employers nationwide with highly motivated college students, graduate students, and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through paid summer or permanent jobs.
Participating in the WRP is an excellent way to:
- find an internship or permanent position
- explore careers in the federal service
- gain interviewing experience
To apply for WRP, you must:
- have a disability AND
- be a U.S. citizen AND
- be enrolled to seek a degree at a U.S. Department of Education accredited institution of higher education on a substantially full-time basis (unless your disability precludes you from taking a substantially full-time load or it is your last term before graduating) OR
- have graduated from such a school within the past two years (April 1, 2019 or later).

Learn to Teach at Harvard
Teachers change lives – be part of that change at the Harvard Graduate School of Education by becoming a teacher. Applications are now open for the new Teaching and Teacher Leadership master’s program, which will prepare you to lead transformative learning experiences that expand opportunity, fuel student success, and make a positive impact on young people and their communities.
We offer two ways to become licensed to teach in a U.S. school. In the residency model, you’ll jump in and make an immediate impact as a teacher of record in a Boston-area school, while gaining the rich and meaningful preparation you need. This model offers you extensive fellowship support that will make your master’s degree affordable. We also offer an internship model, for those who seek to ramp up teaching responsibility more gradually. Upon graduating from either model, you will be eligible to teach English, science, math, and history at the middle school and high school levels.
The application deadlines are November 1, 2022, for the residency model, which carries priority for significant fellowship support, and January 5, 2023 for the internship model.
Learn more about TTL at one of our September information sessions (on Zoom):

Teach for a Just Future-Urban Teachers
Structural racism and inequality have kept generations of urban children from receiving the education they deserve. At Urban Teachers, we believe that qualified, highly effective teachers who stay in the classroom can empower students through learning. Our teachers develop the skills, hands-on experience and knowledge to ensure every child receives an equitable education. Urban Teachers and American University have partnered to deliver a curriculum that not only provides a grounding in high-quality K-12 instruction, but also teaches the importance of understanding and appreciating a child’s community and culture. American’s professors, selected for their student-centered approach to learning and experience in urban public education, deliver courses including “Race, Culture, and Equity in Urban Education” and “Trauma Informed Teaching Practices.”
Program Overview
Our program is intense. Our teachers receive a master’s degree from our higher education partner and become dually certified to teach in either elementary education, secondary English or secondary math, and special education. We offer more comprehensive coursework and personalized support than any other teacher training program. In the first year, our participants take part in a residency as they work alongside an experienced teacher in an urban classroom while taking graduate courses after school. In the second year, our participants become fellows, moving into full-time, salaried teaching positions, while receiving expert coaching from our clinical faculty. That guidance and support continue for the third year, during which time, our fellows develop their teaching practices to provide students with the support they need to thrive.
