Munya Munyati graduated from Middlebury last spring. A double major in political science and film and media culture, Munya grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe, and before matriculating at Middlebury he attended the United World College in Hong Kong. 

This is how he got from there to here.

We begin with a simple question: How did you get here? The question is asked and answered by Middlebury students, but that's where uniformity ends. For some, their journey to Vermont is strictly a geographical tale; for others, their travel has been spiritual, metaphorical, one of mind, body, and soul.

This project—now in its 11th year but first as a podcast—annually employs four students as Middlebury Fellows in Narrative Journalism. The fellows seek out and interview some of their peers in the student body at Middlebury, and are entrusted with their personal stories.
