Sustainability Spotlight!
Middlebury Institute of International Studies
Solar Panel Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
Date: Tuesday, January 30, 2024
Time: 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM Pacific Time
Location: MIS, Pierce Street Promenade
As we close out the work on the installation of our new solar panels, the MIIS Sustainability Council would like to take the opportunity to thank our Director of Facilities, Andrew Hernandez, and his contractors for their work in lowering our carbon footprint by as much as 60%. Sustainability is critical to the future of our school, and we want to get everyone together to celebrate that! The event will feature food, drinks, activities, a raffle, a plant exchange, short speeches from our leadership, and of course, a ribbon cutting!
Important- If you would like to participate in our plant exchange, feel free to bring your favorite (or not so favorite) indoor plant that you would be willing to exchange for a new plant with your fellow MIIS colleagues!
