Committee Leadership
Haley Goodman '21SGA Director of Environmental Sustainability
I have been blown away by the capacity of the Middlebury community to make change and I think that the SGA plays a huge role in that success. I'm so excited to join the SGA team and continue working towards building a more sustainable and inclusive environment on campus. I'm passionate about helping our campus on its journey towards becoming zero waste, which I believe starts with education about waste on campus. I'm especially eager to continue building unity within the environmental activist community and wider activist community at large. In this troubling time, it is especially evident that we all need to support each other and each others initiatives and that's what I hope to continue doing on campus.

Connor Wertz '22SGA Director of Environmental Sustainability
I joined the SGA because I believe it is an opportunity to give power to the voices of students on campus. Environmental Sustainability is often on our minds, and students have proven over and again their commitment to making Middlebury an institution that cares for the future of its students, faculty, staff, and the world we all inhabit. Sustainability is more than numbers - it's a way of living as a community. I hope that with John and his incredible team we can tie this issue into how we live. Together, we can create a cohesive, sustainable, and powerful movement!
