Alums

 

A group of college students are in a room working with high school students.

Summer internships have long helped Vassar students gain work experience and learn more about possible career paths. Many of these internships are hosted by those in the alum network. We highlight four exciting opportunities that Vassar students engaged with this summer, strengthening their resumes as well as their bonds of the Vassar community.

Barbara Dixon ’69 (née Saslaw) led a remarkable life, excelling as a pioneering force in the finance industry before transitioning to environmental advocacy, where she championed landscape preservation and sustainability. In her honor, her husband, Christopher Dixon, has made a transformative gift to Vassar, supporting the Center for Career Education (CCE) and The Bartlett Center to empower students and alums in their career journeys.

Wet weather posed a challenge, but alums say spending more time indoors spurred meaningful connections!
