Join a communal reflection on the 2 years since the start of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine and the 10 years since the start of the Russian occupation of Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk. Events include a vigil and the opening of a photo exhibition.

Vigil: Vassar Alliance for Ukraine, in collaboration with the Office of International Services and Office of Religious & Spiritual Life & Contemplative Practices, invites everyone to a vigil to commemorate the victims of Russian violence and celebrate Ukrainian resilience.
