Linking Diversity and a Campus Community:
An Architectural Approach
by
Susan Sturm
Columbia Law School
Tuesday, January 15
7:30 pm, Dana Auditorium
Professor Sturm is the George M. Jaffin Professor of Law and Social Responsibility and the founding director of the Center for Institutional and Social Change at Columbia Law School, a partner in the Mellon Creating Connections Consortium (C3). She also helped author the amici curiae brief submitted by Middlebury in the Supreme Court case Fischer v. University of Texas at Austin. Professor Sturm will talk about connecting diversity within different institutions, building welcoming environments for students of diversity, and the mission of diversity vs. the mission of the college.
Sponsored by SGA Institutional Diversity Committee and MCAB Speakers Committee.
Middlebury students are in process of organizing the Middlebury Dance Marathon: a fundraising event for the Vermont Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. We will spend a fun and entertaining 12 hours dancing the night away in McCullough Social Space on Saturday, January 19th from 4pm – 4am to support local families and the medical needs of their kids.
Registration for the event is now open at go/dancemarathon! It will be a great night filled with good music (live band, DJs), activities, free food (Ben and Jerry’s and the Grille), all in support of a great cause.
The kids from the hospital and their families will join us for the night and really enjoy dancing with the College students and sharing their stories. It would be amazing to see you many Middlebury faculty and staff there as possible.
CREATE a TEAM with friends and come join the party. It costs $10 to register and all proceeds go towards our fundraising goal of $10,000.
In an effort to reduce the number of all-student e-mails, MiddNotes is now the primary means of communicating with the entire student body (excluding announcements related to emergencies, health, policy and compliance, or other special circumstances). Special permission to send all-student e-mails must be granted by the Dean of the College.
All students, faculty, and staff can make college-related announcements via MiddNotes. Once a week, on Friday mornings, a “digest” version of the content will be sent to students via e-mail, with links that take them back to the full text of the announcement.
How to post to MiddNotes:
Posts will not be viewable to the public until they have been reviewed and approved by the Office of the Dean of the College.
We hope you’ll use MiddNotes for your announcements, to help reduce all-student e-mails. All announcements posted at MiddNotes by 8 p.m. on Thursdays will be included in the weekly summary to students on Friday mornings. Please plan ahead.
If you have questions about using MiddNotes, please send them to middnotes@middlebury.edu.
Dear Colleagues:
Welcome back to a new year at Middlebury. I hope you enjoyed a productive and wonderful summer.
I write to share with you the latest edition of the Student Resource Guide. The guide introduces students to what we value and highlights key campus resources that allow them to have fun, be safe, find help, and become active, engaged members of our community. In addition, we created the Student-Athlete Resource Guide that highlights valuable information relevant to being an athlete at Middlebury. Although these guides should not be confused with Middlebury’s official College Handbook, which provides the complete text of all College policies, they offer an overview of some of the most important of those policies and the goals behind them.
While we wrote and designed these guides with students in mind, we think they will be a useful resource for faculty and staff, too, as you work closely with students. New students, residential life staff, new faculty, and first-year seminar faculty received a printed copy of the Student Resource Guide during Orientation. Other faculty and staff may access the guide by visiting go/resourceguide. We have distributed a limited number of guides to locations throughout campus, so if you would like one, you may pick one up. The Student-Athlete Resource Guide is available by visiting http://www.middlebury.edu/athletics/studentathleteinfo.
Warmly,
Shirley M. Collado
Dean of the College
