FALL 2016
Fall 2015
The goal here is to connect current Vassar College Cross Country and Track athletes to our amazing Alumni/Parent/Family network. If you majored in similar areas, currently work in a related field, or know someone who does, we hope that you take the moment to reach out and make that connection.
We all know what it's like to not absolutely know what we'd like to do after Vassar, and a quick conversation with someone who's been there or is there now could make a big difference to our Seniors!
Please let Coach Justin (juharris@vassar.edu) know if you're interested in connecting with one of them!

"I’m looking for a challenging career where I can learn and collaboratively apply my skills of research and critical thinking in the field of international affairs." | |
| Molly Crowell | Philosophy | "I like to write and I like to scrutinize. I hope to extend those skills beyond Vassar in a field pertaining to new media or up and coming digital technologies like artificial intelligence. I want to challenge others to proceed with caution while engaging with them and note the effects they are having on our world, practically, socially, philosophically, or otherwise." | |
| Gabe Fishman | History | "I want to apply my passion of running and love of being outdoors, to a career where these two things are front and center. I enjoy making strong connections with others and could easily see myself coaching, teaching, outdoor education and exploration, or anything in the general running, endurance, fitness industry where I could aptly put my passions into practice." | |

| Jemma Howlett | Cognitive Studies and Religion | "I love thinking and learning about the brain/mind. What is consciousness? How do people around the world think differently? What is the brain capable of? I want to find out." |

| Laura MacDonald | Biology, Correlate in Hispanic Studies | "I'm interested in the ecological side of biology, and want to work in the field doing research. I'm particularly interested in terrestrial macro biology. I would like to improve my Spanish enough that I could speak professionally about biology since many of the most biodiverse regions are in Spanish speaking countries. " | |
