“We prepare students to translate their Middlebury experience into successful pursuit of their post- graduate goals.”

Create a signature career education planning experience that is interwoven throughout the undergraduate years that encourages independence, exploration and aspiration.
Focus our employer outreach and development to take advantage of our extraordinary alumni network and build enduring relationships with desirable organizations and a portfolio of opportunities that excites our students.
Forge academic/faculty connections that build collaborative campus-wide partnerships that foster the application of liberal learning.

“Dive in.”
“Stay at it.”
It’s that simple.
