Everyone deserves to feel at home, in a community, and surrounded by those who understand them. Carr is a place where this mission is reinforced for all students, especially the traditionally underserved.
The Anderson Freeman Resource Center helps create a welcoming environment for students of color, LGBTQIA+ students, first-generation students, students from low-income environments, and all others who are underserved while providing advising, mentoring, community building, and support for student cultural groups.
Middlebury students have long challenged societal structures around race, gender, and representation. Alexander Twilight was America’s first Black graduate in 1823; Mary Annette Anderson, valedictorian of the Class of 1899, was the first woman of color to graduate from Middlebury; and Martin Henry Freeman, Class of 1849, was the first African American president of a U.S. college.
We continue their fight by challenging the forces of injustice and marginalization in our community, and the world. Carr is home to the Center for the Comparative Study of Race and Ethnicity, where students and academics analyze the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, religion, age, (dis)ability, health, language, education, environment, housing, diaspora, and migration. The center focuses on challenging structures of power, and democratizing knowledge.
