Midd Mag Preview: Fall 2008
The Fall 2008 Middlebury Magazine hit coffee-tables around campus this week and it’s got some interesting features. It’s not online yet but here’s a sampling of cool stuff:
- Average number of emails received on campus daily: 545,000
- Number of 2012 students who have registered: Macs 289 / PCs 236
- Spring 2008 Major Breakdown: Economics is still the most popular major. 30.3% of students majored in the social sciences, 9.3% in languages, 4.9% in arts. There are 5 WAGS majors and 6 Classics majors in the school as of Spring 2008.
- Aylie Baker ’09 has her first story, “Uganda’s Children” published as the Middlebury Fellow in Narrative Journalism.
- Alex Rossmiller ’04 was as a former Defense Intelligence Agency Analyst who wrote an inside account about the failures of the government from “Baghdad to the Pentagon.” Oh and Jeff Sengle ’99 is a secret service agent protecting Obama and Biden…
- MiddMag published not one, not two, not three, but four commendations of President Liebowitz’s speech last spring at Baccalaureate. And yet only one alumnus found it necessary to take Dean of Students/Provost Tim Spears to task for encouraging “incoming students to read The Communist Manifesto“
Those figures were for the entire school, not just the class of 2008. If memory serves, there were only 2 Classics majors and 1 WAGS major in the Class of 2008. There might have been more who were double majors and marched with other departments, however.
In other Class of 2008 news, guess who was left out of the Class Notes? Me! Guess who’s not getting a donation this year? Just kidding . . . (And, yes, I sent in my note way, way ahead of the deadline.)
Ryan–thanks for the favorable review.
Sarah–my guess is that your submission came well in advance of the winter deadline, but sorry you were disappointed, nonetheless!
