Forbidden Fruit: Sexuality Education

Sex happens. Sexuality education often doesn’t. And when it does, it is almost always controversial.

The Grandmother of Sex Education

Like many other Vassar freshmen in the Class of 1925 and afterward, Mary Steichen made certain she did not miss the notorious "sex lecture" in her required first-year hygiene course.

Media Cloisters: Technology Center

Media Cloisters. A place where nuns read newspapers and catch up on the evening news? A retreat for burned-out and broken-down journalists? No to both. Vassar’s Media Cloisters is just one of several campus initiatives that are creating a high-tech liberal arts for the 21st century.

Let's Get Physical: New Athletic Facility

Nestled between Walker Field House and the ninth fairway of the Vassar golf course, a new and as yet unnamed athletic facility opened for business this semester.
