Long-form audio narratives produced BY STUDENTS was a fantastic idea that has now been copied by many other schools as a way to showcase the school. In many ways, the durability of the concept is proof of how good it is.

But five years is a long time. I want to see what the new generation of students can do to innovate on this project. There are many different audiences to please. One audience is a new generation of prospective students that look to these narratives in choosing Middlebury. How do you tell a story to them?

I would argue that both the question (How did you get here?) and the technology (long-form audio/photo mix) merit reexamination even if students end up going a similar route to years past.
