"I started giving to Vassar as a student, and never stopped. There's no amount of money that would ever repay Vassar for everything that it's given to me -- a family, an ambition, an outlook, an identity. Supporting Vassar feels like supporting myself."

"Vassar has always been my highest priority philanthropically, from the beginning, when I could only afford to make a very small gift. Beyond the fact that Vassar had a profound impact on who I am today, the college was very good to me at a time when I needed support. I fell an ongoing respoinsibility to reciprocate and help pave the way for others."

"Vassar's annual fund is an important pillar of the campaign because every alum has an opportunity to join in at any amoung, and yet be counted equally as a participant. I can't think of a more powerful expression of thanks to Matthew Vassar than to see each alum contribute even a small amount to preserve his vision."

"Vassar recognizes, accepts and celebrates individual diversity and creativity. Vassar alums are invariably responsible citizens - people concerned with social issues and social justice. At Vassar, I was stimulated by my peers, the cream of the crop, and by the great teachers of the time."
