To the relief of many students, there has been increased academic flexibility, with fewer scheduled in-person exams and more take-home finals, and professors have become more understanding with deadlines. Continuing to make reporting test scores optional provides for a more equitable admissions process.Īdditionally, since 2019, we’ve noticed a change in the types of assignments given by professors. Doing well on a standardized test requires resources that aren’t equally available to all applicants. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Middlebury has become test-optional, a policy we hope sticks around. When the class of 2023 applied, the college required standardized test scores. But while the college has made progress in improving diversity in admissions, this is only successful if we provide the resources to support those students when they get to Middlebury. Likewise, there are now more cultural dinners, and the Anderson Freeman Resource Center (AFC) - Middlebury’s intercultural center - has expanded its programming. Not only in terms of admitting more BIPOC, first-generation and low-income students, but also by celebrating the diversity of culture on campus through robust programming such as a variety of events in honor of Black History Month. Since we started four years ago, the college has become more diverse. As we finish up a year without pandemic restrictions, we must reflect on how students’ priorities have changed and the college has failed to keep up with the changing times. Of course, the college has developed in ways that were inevitable due to the pandemic’s disruption of both Middlebury and the world at large. Our non-seniors offered their perspectives on how these changes have shaped their college experience thus far.
