Panther of the Week:

ROSA GANDLER

I’ll admit it: I’ve had a rough time at Middlebury and things often don’t pan out my way. However, whenever I talk about Midd to prospective students, strangers, and friends, a smile crosses my face and I tell them, “This place is great and you’d be an idiot not to come”. This is mostly thanks to Rosa Gandler. I always tell people knowing Rosa is the best thing that’s happened to me at Middlebury. Idealistic, loving, generous, and brilliant, Rosa always knows how to put a smile on your face. She is giving, and full of surprises. One time she saw one of our friends crying on a staircase, trying to go unnoticed. Ten minutes later, she was there with a bag of candy in hand, cheering them up. However, what I find most inspiring about her if that she never asks for recognition or anything in return. During my sophomore year, when I was having a difficult time, Rosa tried to do something for me every day and every day she’d make me that much happier. She got me through some rough times.”
