A Call to Action

We call for an increase in campus confrontational dialogue, discourse, and leadership training because we believe such student engagement would enrich Middlebury’s education, and demonstrate its commitment to developing true global citizens. To this end, we will create a structured space for confronting issues of personal identity in order to broach taboos and engage in critical self-examination at a personal and community wide level. Driven by dynamic and diverse student leadership, in partnership with staff, faculty, and student organizations, JusTalks is a forum dedicated to free communication, to thoughtful discourse, to supportive self-analysis, to leaning into discomfort, and to dynamic community building.
