Your guide to Earth Week is here!
Spring is here and with it, Earth Day!
Please take a minute to check out all the great events happening next week to celebrate:
1. The week kicks off this Sunday with Community Grow Day sponsored by the College Committee on Sustainability and VEG (the Vassar Experimental Garden).
Composting; Coming to a Faculty Housing Area Near You!
In growing initiatives to extend environmental measures beyond Vassar’s campus, the College Committee on Sustainability, Building & Grounds, and the Office of Strategic Planning and Academic Resources are bringing composting to faculty housing areas! As composting in ACDC, the Retreat, and upperclassmen housing has become an integral part of Vassar’s culture, it is only natural to involve faculty as well in the collective effort to maintain sustainable practices on as well as off campus.
We’re excited to announce that composting will now be available in the Williams, Palmer and Kendrick housing areas.

Calling all photographers! Earth Day is right around the corner and you will be hearing more from us about that soon, but in the mean time send our your photos of campus by April 12th to our laundry company, MacGray, for the chance to win up to $500 and social media fame and glory!
