A brief description of the institution’s program(s) to encourage student research in sustainability:
Middlebury offers several incentives for sustainability research. Each year, the Fellowships in Environmental Journalism support one Middlebury College senior as well as other young journalists (both Middlebury and non-Middlebury graduates) as they work on a reporting project about humans' relationship with the environment. Middlebury College is also one of the schools who can submit nominees for the Compton Mentor Fellowship (http://www.comptonmentorfellowship.org/). Additionally, Environmental Council Grants often fund student research positions related to sustainability. Environmental Affairs also funds collaborative student and faculty research in sustainability, primarily through the Gretchen Reilly '60 Environmental Fund.
