Hold the door open behind you.
MAREA runs on alumni who remember not knowing where to start. Mentor a student, share a role, or find the other Middlebury people working on the energy transition.
Be the mentor you wish you’d had.
Each mentor is paired one-to-one with a student curious about their part of the industry. New this year: all-cohort meetings, more panels and off-campus site visits, so every pair meets the wider network too.
