Dear Middlebury Families, Welcome to Fall Family Weekend! I’m delighted you could be here on campus for a weekend full of exploration, discovery, and opportunities to experience what life is like for your student at the College. In this booklet you’ll find a schedule of events that includes panel discussions, exhibits, athletic contests, lectures, and performances, which you can enjoy throughout the weekend. On Friday, we’re launching a new Fall Faculty Forum where, from 1 to 6 p.m., you can meet faculty and learn about their current research projects. I also want to encourage you to visit a class on Friday (refer to the list of classes open to visitors), so you can see firsthand how our faculty and students engage with each other and with their course material. On Saturday morning, I invite you to participate in our Relay for Life 5K Color Run. Runners and walkers of all abilities are welcome; entry fees will go to cancer research. No matter what you do this weekend, I hope you enjoy visiting Middlebury during one of the most beautiful times of year. I encourage you to make plans to spend as much time outside as you can, taking in the natural beauty that surrounds us. Best wishes,
