The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center received funds from The Rosalie Thorne McKenna Foundation to support a 2024 exhibition of photographs by Rosalie “Rollie” McKenna, a 1940 graduate of Vassar who retained close ties to her alma mater throughout her lifetime, situated within a broader history of twentieth-century American photography.
The grant will enhance accessibility in Vassar’s Learning Management System and online course content through an integrated accessibility suite for Moodle and support related training materials and resources for faculty to help them make their course materials more accessible.
This grant award will support invasive species monitoring, assessment, and control this summer on Vassar’s Ecological Preserve, the FAF Sharpe Reservation, Hudson Highlands Land Trust’s (HHLT) Granite Mountain Preserve, and LCC’s Biological Field Station as well as related education and outreach activities.
Vassar College selected as a 2022 Beckman Scholars Program award recipient. Awarded by The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation, the prestigious program will provide robust faculty-mentored research experiences for a total of six exceptional undergraduate students in the fields of Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Neuroscience & Behavior.
