Why the student gift is important to you: Students are more in touch with what daily life at Vassar is like, so it makes sense that we would know, in some cases more than administrators, what is wanted or needed on campus; the student gift is a great way for students to get involved and improve the Vassar community in ways that are meaningful to us!

Why the Student Gift is important to you: As an incoming Junior at Vassar, I have seen and experienced the stress students have involving campus climate, academics, and personal issues. Therefore, It is important to me to improve future student life through a student gift that reduces the stress of campus life and promotes a positive environment for all students.
