One Dean’s View

Dear Students,

This week’s Campus included an article on some revisions to the SuperBlock system. The article accurately describes the focus for this year’s SuperBlock process and how we are piloting small, theme houses at the Mods and the new selection committee that will include student participation. We want to clarify that applications will also be accepted for larger groups of students as well and that locations across campus will be considered in this process.

All submitted applications will be reviewed on the strength of the program and the availability of appropriate housing locations. As the application deadline is fast approaching, we wanted to ensure that all students had the correct information.

If you are interested in more information or in applying for a SuperBlock, please review the information on the Housing web page.  The deadline for submitting an application is Friday, February 25.

Middlebury offers a variety of housing options—singles and doubles, suites, apartments, townhouses, small blocks, large blocks, superblocks, houses, academic-interest houses, language houses, and social houses. As we move through the spring term, you will be receiving more information about the Room Draw process. If you have questions about the process or about housing in general, please use the Undergraduate Housing website . For specific inquiries, please contact your Commons office or the Residential Systems Coordinator, Karin Hall-Kolts.

We look forward to hearing your comments and ideas about the SuperBlock program and about housing options in general. To leave a comment, click on “comments” directly beneath the posting title.

We hope you have a wonderful and safe Winter Carnival weekend.

Sincerely,

Shirley Collado
Dean of the College
