Administration

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.

Over the past seven years, the President’s Administrative Fellows program has helped launch careers for dozens of recent alums.

Vassar President Elizabeth H. Bradley delivered the address at the University of Global Health Equity’s White Coat Ceremony, marking the end of two years of academic study and the start of four years of clinical training.

Students, faculty, and administrators gathered recently in Thompson Library for a symposium sponsored by the Vassar Environmental Research Institute, where they shared ideas on ways to combat climate change.

Three new administrators are collaborating to enhance and advance the goals of Engaged Pluralism on campus.

A Vassar holiday tradition that began more than three decades ago is still bringing joy to children of farm workers throughout the Hudson Valley.

Vassar’s Inclusive History initiative took several steps forward at a retreat at the Alumnae House this fall.
