Mrinalini Somani ’23 has been organizing concerts to benefit impoverished children in Mumbai since she was 12 years old, and she’s not letting the COVID-19 pandemic stop her from continuing to do so. On June 13, she will present her eighth annual WE concert with help from members of a Vassar choir.
During the second half of the spring semester, Vassar’s Engaged Pluralism Initiative (EPI) launched three projects that are making life a little brighter for students and staff on campus.
