A Message from the Community Works Committee:

Community Works Campaign Update and Thank You

A circular logo featuring a colorful cityscape with stylized buildings in shades of red, orange, yellow, and blue, arranged behind a row of five green trees. Above the buildings, bold yellow text reads “25” with the word “Years” in a script font to the right. Arched purple text at the top reads “COMMUNITY WORKS,” while the years “2001” and “2026” curve along the sides. At the bottom, “VASSAR COLLEGE” is written in uppercase red letters.
