A rise in the number of drug overdoses in Poughkeepsie and the Hudson Valley, principally due to Fentanyl, has prompted Vassar health officials to add a new tool—Narcan—to campus first-aid tool kits.

Vassar students, faculty, alums, and others in the tech field gathered at The Vassar Institute for the Liberal Arts to celebrate the 100th anniversary of computing pioneer Grace Hopper ’28’s arrival on the Vassar campus and traded stories about the groundbreaking work she had done to shepherd the world into the modern computer age.

Students, faculty, alums and scholars from several colleges and universities took part in a celebration of more than 50 years of teaching and learning in Science, Technology and Society at Vassar.

Students, professors, and alums traveled the globe during Spring Break in search of immersive educational experiences that typify the Vassar ethos of “going to the source.”

Vassar recently hosted the TMI Project for an afternoon of vulnerable storytelling, as part of the Engaged Pluralism program’s Spring 2025 series, Exploring Difficult Dialogues—a campus-wide effort to foster meaningful conversations around complex and often stigmatized topics.
