communities are designed 
by everyone.

What is Engaged Pluralism? A set of practices that invite people into dialogue across differences using four tools to organize, create, and build cultures of mutual respect, peace, and accountability.

Engaged Pluralism is a Vassar program dedicated to bringing faculty, students, and administrators together to raise questions around inclusion and belonging, and to create programming to make our campus a better place to live, learn, and work. Learn more about the program →.

Our Working Groups, Igniter Pitches, and innovative programming make it possible for anyone on campus to come forward and have an active role in shaping the Vassar community.
