Five Vassar students traveled to Rwanda this summer for their first in-person learning experience with students at the University of Global Health Equity.
Two students who participated in this year’s Community Fellows program worked for agencies that support people impacted by the criminal justice system.
Every summer since 1988, Vassar students have been collaborating with faculty members in the humanities and social sciences on research projects under the auspices of the Ford Scholars Program. A typical project supports one faculty member and one student to engage in rigorous scholarship, teaching preparation, or course development.
Students and faculty at Vassar and other local colleges have begun training on Vassar’s new $1-million confocal microscope, acquired with a grant from the National Science Foundation.
At this year’s Commencement ceremony, more than 550 graduating seniors were celebrated for their resilience—the class matriculated at the dawn of COVID. British actor and filmmaker Emily Mortimer offered inspiring words to the graduates.
Vassar’s Inclusive History project, an initiative launched last year to tell the College’s story more fully and honestly, has been gaining some momentum lately.
