Inspired by the occasion of the Sesquicentennial anniversary of the college’s founding, the Women’s Studies program, in concert with the Campus Life LGBTQ Center, student activists from Queer Coalition of Vassar College, TransMission, and Act Out, and other concerned staff, faculty and students, determined the need for an event that would commemorate Vassar’s unique lesbian, queer and gender nonconforming histories. “Smashing History: 150 Years of LGBTIQA Vassar” celebrates the accomplishments of prominent alumnae/i who have distinguished themselves in service to LGBTIQA communities variously through activism, archival work and public history, the arts, community organizing and outreach, education, journalism, the law, and many other areas.
