Professor Povitz was one of my first history department professors. She was one of the primary reasons I became a history major. I’ve taken classes with her since and have been consistently awed and inspired by her work. She is an indispensable member of our department. We need to do everything possible to keep her on board.
To whom it concerns, I took Practicing Oral History this last j term and she was an amazing professor. One of the best I’ve ever had at Middlebury without a doubt. She leads discussions with kindness and trust. Middlebury is a much better place with her as a professor. Sincerely, Lily Staron
