In the Classroom

Jeffrey Schneider, Associate Professor of German Studies, was so impressed by the student-veterans he had in his classes that he volunteered to be the faculty advisor to the Posse veterans of the class of 2022.

The Lingering Influence of a Vassar Education

After graduating with Vassar’s class of 2017, Eduardo De La Torre returned home to Houston, where he is now founder of DVG Financial, a firm that provides low-cost loans and teaches financial literacy to discharged veterans, a group particularly vulnerable to predatory lenders during the often-protracted period when they are waiting for their Veterans Affairs benefits to begin.
