In this special season of Midd Moment, Laurie Patton checks in with members of the Midd community to talk about how they are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this first episode, Dr. Mark Peluso, Middlebury's director of health services, shares the moment he first heard the word “COVID-19,” and when he realized the College would have to take big steps to help flatten the curve.
