Michael worked a seasonal gig with the USFS in Alaska. He and his camera spent most of that time camping on the beach, looking (unsuccessfully) for bears, and doing bureaucracy.

Scott is a Conservation Biology major, hailing from his family’s farm in Kalispell, Montana. Thanks to Middlebury, he is now a man of both the West and East, finding commonality in the pursuit of elk and the crew team’s pursuit of fat ergos.
David is a senior geography major and journalism junkie hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area. When he’s not working on a story, you’ll likely find him honking on the sax, bobbing in the waves or tracking down the perfect burrito.
Noah Stone ’16.5
Pyone Aye ’18
Munya has been, and still is lost in the world. His impulsive sense of adventure and discovery have seen him make his way across the globe, most recently in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and he hopes to travel to all 7 continents soon.
Krista is a senior Environmental Policy major who follows her curiosity wherever it leads, whether it be to faraway places or just across campus. She enjoys the art of storytelling, especially when it opens peoples’ minds to new ideas.
Georgia is a junior IP&E major hailing from the Appalachian Mountains of Western Maryland. Since coming to Middlebury, she has started speed dating on campus, appeared in an Ethiopian beer commercial with a Middlebury professor, and placed in a Vermont primitive biathlon. Naomi is a sophomore majoring in Economics and minoring in Hebrew from Newton, MA. She is interested in social justice through an economic lens, specifically through social entrepreneurship. This past summer, Naomi worked in rural Morocco with a women’s social enterprise.
Noah is a super-senior feb geology major from the coast of Maine. When he’s not hanging out with rocks, he likes to play music, ferment things, cook, tramp around the Himalaya, and take pictures the old-fashioned way.
Jackson hails from Westport, Connecticut and is a senior Computer Science major/Math minor at Middlebury. Aside from playing for the Men’s Rugby club, Jackson hosts his own radio show and enjoys poetry and talking with people.
Wendy is a super-senior that febbed herself after taking off her junior fall. She hails from Little Compton, Rhode Island, and loves listening to the same song on repeat, jumping in cold water, and eating beets and chocolate, (though not typically together.) Elias was born and raised at the end of Long Island. The outdoors have always been a central element in his life. He is half German, a lover of language, a bit of a foodie, and always up for an adventure.
Passionate about life, food, photography, sleep, dancing, long talks, singing, adventure. Infected by wanderlust and dreams of traveling the world. If Isabella wasn’t at Middlebury, she’d be off exploring the world, turning strangers in to friends.
Pyone’s a culturally-confused Burmese-kiwi, who’s never lived in one place for more than 3 years. She has a passion for chasing after new experiences and indulging in different cultures. At Middlebury, Pyone is an Economics and Architectural Studies double major.
