Vassar College Women's Center Vassar College's Women's Center provides an empowering space for women-identified people. We are located in College Center 235.

Drop in to hang out, read a book or magazine, talk with one of the interns or the director of the center, or pick up some information about local and national resources. During the school year, the Women’s Center is open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, with extended evening and weekend hours. The Vassar College Women's Center supports and celebrates women’s leadership; provides empowering spaces for female-identified people; takes action to address gender inequity on campus; provides programming and resources on local, national and global gender issues; honors Vassar College’s unique history; and promotes understanding among people of different genders, cultures, beliefs, ethnic backgrounds, abilities and sexual orientations. The Women’s Center envisions a campus where women occupy significant leadership positions; female-identified people feel safe and empowered; students value learning about a wide variety of gender-related topics; and that students will take the gender equity values they learn about at Vassar to positively influence society at large. To learn more about the Women’s Center, contact Center Director Danushi Fernando at [email protected].
