What comes to mind when you think of Founder’s Day?

At this community event, enjoy dinner, move between stations, and learn about the complicated history behind this tradition. You will see the evolution of Founder's Day, recognize other Vassar founders, and learn about the work that is being done to address the history behind this day.
