The email appears to be from an actual Vassar user.
The email content is Vassar specific.
The link redirects to a page that resembles Dropbox, a file sharing service that Vassar does use.
Why this is phishing
The link in the email does not go to a Vassar site or any other service related to Vassar.
An email such as this claiming to show student awards would not come from any Vassar user, but a specific office related to academics.
Pages that ask a user to select their provider for login are usually phishing attempts.
