Field Guides
Explore Careers with Middlebury Alumni
Presented by the Center for Careers and Internships and co-sponsored by departments, these Field Guides bring alumni back to campus to share knowledge and experience related to their post-Middlebury careers and professional lives.
Field Guides help you think broadly about where your academic work may lead you in a professional context by giving you the information you need to think critically about what you’ll do with your liberal arts major or degree after Middlebury.
Field Guide Features
- Alumni Panels: Learn how certain majors can lead to varied experiences and career trajectories.
- One-on-One Career Conversations: Connect with the alumni panelists who have volunteered to meet you.

“I used to attend all of the Field Guide dinners at Atwater, and I credit those experiences with my ability to network professionally with folks who might seem unapproachable. I learned that most people genuinely want to help students and young professionals in their career journey.”
