Why Access Matters: Introduction

A Vassar education provides access in many forms and to many things: dedicated and talented faculty members, students, and alums; outstanding facilities and resources; and a broader community rich with diversity and opportunities. But first, students need to get here.

Diversity

"For that education to really work, we need differences not only in our students' interest and ambitions, but also, importantly, differences in their backgrounds, Kitzinger says.

Curriculum Vitae

Led by Sarita Gregory, assistant professor of political science, the class had as one of its first assignments visiting local polls. “It was really impressive to have a small class with a professor talking about grassroots advocacy,” says Dobb. “She encouraged us to discover our individual roles in the community.”
