Committee Leadership
Henry Ganey '22SGA Director of External Affairs
I joined because I care a lot about the relationship between the college and town. As a resident of Middlebury, and a graduate of its high school, I know the importance of a strong relationship between Middlebury College and the Town of Middlebury. I bring to the SGA a unique perspective on the inner-workings of the town, an understanding of town/gown relations, and an immense appreciation for the opportunities both the town and college have given me. As a political science major, I am interested in town politics and establishing a relationship between the SGA/college community and the town government. There are a lot of politically-minded students, yet, general knowledge of monthly town issues is limited and I believe we have a real opportunity to change that. I hope to establish a relationship with the Select-board, Middlebury Union High School, and other town organizations. I believe I have the capacity and vision to make this happen this coming year.

Daniel Gutierrez '23SGA Director of External Affairs
Throughout my time thus far at Midd, I found myself almost spending more time off-campus than on. Whether that was working at Royal Oak/Lost Monarch or taking trips to Burlington, I couldn't help myself from connecting to the Vermont surroundings that Midd resides in. I joined SGA in the role of Director of External Affairs to help foster relationships to further build a stronger and more connected Middlebury community. It is my goal to help mold what that will look like and how to have interchanging support during and post COVID-19 while promoting as much community engagement as possible.
