Fiery Red Maples
line Vassar’s Quadrangle,
a striking sign
of autumn’s arrival.
TEXT: Red Maples on the quad in autumn.
Education
is not
the filling of a pail,
but the lighting of a fire.
William Butler Yeats

Learning sparks the mind. As the legendary Vassar professor Maria Mitchell said, “We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more are we capable of seeing.”

The Vassar curriculum has always been characterized by boldness, breadth and flexibility. Today, the curriculum is richer and more varied than ever, with an increasing emphasis on multidisciplinary approaches to education. Your gifts to the Annual Fund are the seeds for our students’ futures, and help ensure a diverse and expansive curriculum for years to come.

The future is in your hands.

Every gift to the Annual Fund makes a positive contribution to the educational experience of our students.
