Five Vassar students traveled to Rwanda this summer for their first in-person learning experience with students at the University of Global Health Equity.
Associate Professor of Education Kimberly Williams Brown, Vassar’s new Director of Engaged Pluralism, seeks to create a campus “that feels and looks inclusive to students, staff, administrators, and faculty.”
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.
In March, representatives of Vassar, the University of Edinburgh, University of Global Health Equity in Rwanda, and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay convened on the campus of the revered University of Edinburgh in Scotland to collaborate on initiatives incorporating the principles of the liberal arts.
Nearly 200 alums joined dozens of others in the Vassar community to celebrate the Alumnae House’s 100th anniversary and to pay tribute to its original benefactors, sisters Blanche Ferry Hooker of the class of 1894 and Queene Ferry Coonley, class of 1896.
