College to create Task Force on Alcohol and Student Life
Earlier tonight, I attended a mini-forum on alcohol and student life at Middlebury. The meeting was a follow-up to the issues raised by the student body during the well-attended May 3, 2011 alcohol forum held in McCullough.
Eleven other students and four deans were in attendance. The deans present were Katy Smith Abbott (Dean of Students), Shirley Collado (Dean of the College and Chief Diversity Officer), Ian Sutherland (Cook Commons), and Lisa Boudah (Associate Dean of the College and Director of Public Safety).
The primary announcement at the forum concerned the soon-to-happen creation of a Task Force on Alcohol and Student Life that will be co-chaired by Dean Katy Smith Abbott and a member of the faculty (to be determined). There will be twelve people on the task force in total, including five student representatives and several other representatives from College faculty, Public Safety, and Custodial Services.
