Middlebury College goes remote, cancels in-person events
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. – Middlebury College has switched to remote instruction and postponed in-person events for the rest of the semester because of a rise in COVID-19 cases on campus.
The school said Thursday evening that 34 new cases have been confirmed on campus, bringing the total number to 49 active student cases and one employee case.
The switch includes all classes met Friday, “final exams, and all formal and informal events, including athletics competitions and performing arts,” the school said.
Middlebury is also encouraging students who are able to leave early for the holiday break to do so.
More than 99% of students are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and many have already received booster doses, Middlebury said.
