SGA Changes

Just to keep everyone updated, there will be some significant changes coming to SGA by Spring semester. If you have any suggestions on things you would like to see different in the way in which SGA functions or is structured please let me know ASAP. I have lots of ideas and I have heard a lot of feedback from people on things they would like to see but the more input the better. Reach out to me. My job is to represent you all and the only way I can effectively do so is with your input! Email me back if you want to know more!

Student Ambassador Program

This is a last minute reminder to apply to be a Student Ambassador for Middlebury’s Admissions. This program came from SGA last year and is being implemented now by the College. There is still time to apply! Applications are due at midnight: go/ambassadorapp

Winter Photos

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! If you look outside, there is a nice covering of snow on the ground. While it might be mildly inconvenient for traveling between classes, it is great for taking pictures!! If you want someone to take some pictures for you enjoying the snow, let me know and I am more than willing to find a time that works for both of us!

Wonnacott Website Make-Over

Some of you may have noticed that the Wonnacott Website has been… gulp… removed. Don’t worry! Just as the seasons are changing, and the weather is looking different, the WonnacottWebsite is also getting a little make over. I listened to some of the feedback I have received and taken into account some of the changes being made to the Commons System and now am making the website better and more interactive. Stay tuned for updates and hopefully a fresh new site to debut as of J-Term!

Gamut Room Café J-Term Pilot

There will be more to come about this but this has been an initiative I have been working on for part of this semester. Its goal is to increase interaction with the space.

Welcome

By Myles Maxie

Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year at Middlebury College! I hope everyone is off to a great start to their school year and making the most of the remaining summer weather.

I wanted to take the time to introduce myself and make myself available to get to know each of you. My name is Myles Maxie and I will be serving as the Wonnacott Senator for the 2019-2020 school year. My role involves serving as a representative for Wonnacott Commons in the Student Government Association. This means that I represent you!

I want to be the best representative that I can and because of that I need to hear from you all! What makes you feel great about going to Middlebury? What could be improved? What are experiences you have had here that you want to see more of? What do you feel Middlebury is missing? These are just examples of the type of things I would like to hear feedback on from you all!

All of that said, not only will I be your representative, but also another one of the many resources you have available on this campus if you ever need to talk or even something as simple as grabbing a meal! If you ever want to talk about anything, I am easy to reach by email or just stop me if you see me and we can chat!
