How Did You Get Here?

We begin with a simple question: How did you get here? The question is asked and answered by Middlebury students, but that’s where uniformity ends. For some, their journey to Vermont is strictly a geographical tale; for others, their travel has been spiritual, metaphorical, one of mind, body, and soul. This project—now in its 11th year but first as a podcast—annually employs four students as Middlebury Fellows in Narrative Journalism. The fellows seek out and interview some of their peers in the student body at Middlebury, and are entrusted with their personal stories.
