Dear Middlebury Community,
We are writing with some updates about the arts, athletics, and other activities at Middlebury College this spring. With the arrival period nearly complete and lessons learned from the fall, we are committed to offering a robust and meaningful experience for all students inside and outside the classroom––with the highest attention to health and safety.
We look forward to a successful semester and expect that we will be able to offer more activities and programs as the semester progresses, the colder weather subsides, and provided cases of COVID-19 remain low on campus and in our community. As always, our plans will be guided by the latest state and federal guidelines, conditions in our community, and continued student adherence to mitigation measures.

Miller, age 77, has since got her booster shot and sounds ecstatic to have her vaccinations complete. She said the first shot went fine, but 12 hours after she received the second shot she experienced nausea, dizziness and headache for about 12 hours, but she has been fine since then. Her husband, Paul Miller, a first responder, got his second dose of the Pfizer vaccine in January.
