About us
MiddCORE is a suite of immersive leadership, innovation, and life skills programs at Middlebury College. This cohort-style programming equips students with the skills, mindsets, and experiences to become effective leaders and creative problem solvers. The program has two main offerings: The MiddCORE J-Term program and the MiddCORE Summer Lab. The MiddCORE J-Term Program is a 4-week credit-bearing program that helps students build skills, create opportunities, and expand networks. Taught by 30+ industry professionals, the J-Term program features the Strategic Challenge, an opportunity for students to apply their liberal arts education to a real-world problem (past partners include Patagonia, L.L.Bean, Orvis, Peet’s Coffee, Google, YouTube, and more.) In addition to the Strategic Challenge, MiddCORE mentors develop weekly hands-on challenges that inspire students to think creatively, operate outside their comfort zone, and deal with ambiguity. This collaborative environment leverages the skills of all disciplines to achieve cutting-edge solutions. The MiddCORE Summer Lab is an 8-week leadership and professional development experience that runs in conjunction with students’ summer internships. All sessions are led by industry professionals and designed to sharpen professional skill sets, expand networks, and explore possibilities.

Congrats to MiddCORE graduate and MiddCORE mentor Nia Robinson
I'm ecstatic to announce that I will be joining the Chicago Sky as a creative strategist and social media manager! This has been such a long time coming, so I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity. The WNBA has brought me to Toronto, Vegas, New York, and a few other places, so I can't wait to see what's to come in my hometown. If anyone wants to connect about potential opportunities, ideas, and more with the Sky, please reach out!

Week 🖐 marked a pivotal moment in the program as the cohort embarked on a personalized innovation journey. Collaborating with Benjamin Chute from WestCap's CōLab team, we harnessed a month’s worth of insights to breathe life into unique products, services, or experiences. As the week progressed, our students engaged deeply with the innovation community, gaining invaluable perspectives from alumni and industry pioneers during our inaugural MiddCORE Innovation Summit. This event was highlighted by a capstone Leadership panel, providing an enriching forum for exchange and inspiration (thank you Kate Williams, Susie Scher, Alex Hernandez, Ed Eppler, and Catherine Lee!) We conclude with heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2024 MiddCORE graduates. Your dedication this January Term has been exemplary, with the group amassing over 324 calls and immersing yourselves fully into an intensive curriculum. Your hard work has set the stage for your future successes, and we eagerly anticipate witnessing the waves you will create as you continue to iterate and evolve. Cheers to J-Term 2024! #MiddCORE2024 #AlwaysIterating

The cohort brought their A-Game today 🙌 After two weeks of diving into the New Balance case study, ten student groups presented their strategic recommendations to senior executives on the New Balance team 👟 We heard a wide range of recommendations, and some truly out-of-the-box (yet practical) thinking. A massive thank you to Chris Davis, Alexis Anzlovar, Lauren DiLoreto (and Chuck Mauro!) for taking the time to scope the brief and join us on campus in Vermont! Finally, to our innovation consultants, Elizabeth Real and Blake H. Glenn, for all your facilitation support—we couldn’t have done it without you. One week left...bring on the Innovation Sprint! We're ready for you Benjamin Chute 👀
