Safeguard MIIS's mission and legacy
For nearly seventy years, the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey has prepared linguists, diplomats, development practitioners, security analysts, and social entrepreneurs to meet the world as it is—and to make it better.
That legacy deserves a future. We are a coalition of alumni, students, faculty, and friends working to ensure MIIS is placed in capable hands—academically, financially, and ethically—so its distinctive mission not only survives, but thrives.

- Language as a tool for peaceImmersive language training that unlocks careers in diplomacy and interpretation.
- Practice-first educationStudios, policy labs, and fieldwork with practitioners from day one.
- Global communityA tight-knit network across governments, NGOs, startups, and IOs.
