The Alumnae/i Association of Vassar College (AAVC) has announced its slate of awardees for 2026, representing a wide swath of class years, professions, and passions.
Over 40 years of the Clifden Program, students have found purpose, community, adventure—and lasting memories in Ireland. The program blends classroom teaching with cultural immersion, creating lasting connections between Vassar students and an Irish village.
During Reunion 2026, alums enjoyed seeing old friends, making new ones, and, of course, revisiting the campus. It was the classes ending in 1s and 6s that returned to campus this year, and the Class of 1976 celebrated its landmark 50th Reunion.
