Please join Midd Vets Give Back (MVGB) on Thursday, November 11 at 3:00 PM for a Virtual Veterans Day Gathering, Recognizing and Honoring Military Service. This will be a moderated panel discussion followed by a period for audience questions and comments. All are welcome.
Mindful of Middlebury’s mission to prepare students ‘to address the world’s most challenging problems,’ Midd Vets Give Back will host a 90-minute zoom event on Veterans Day, November 11th, starting at 3:00 pm Eastern. Entitled “A Conversation About National Service,” the discussion will be moderated by Kate Bailey French ’93, and include six panelists serving – or having served – in military and civilian capacities over the past 15 years. The conversation will recognize Middlebury veterans while encouraging students and alumni to explore careers in national service, including military and national security. Whether climate change or other domestic and/or global issues, Middlebury alumni can and do make a difference – and this event will focus on cross-generational ideas and thinking that shape steps taken to serve our nation’s interests.
