@Chembiodad,Vassar believes that focusing on the quality of the education is of more importance than fixating on size. :)>-
Having said that, I am the first to acknowledge that it was imperative that Vassar make substantial investments in its STEM programs and infrastructure so the college would be able to maintain its cutting-edge, multidisciplinary science programs and research and continue be a leader and innovator in the STEM fields.
Vassar’s unprecedented* $125,000,000+* expenditure resulting in a state-of-the-art STEM facility, along with the addition of cutting-edge equipment and laboratories, demonstrates Vassar’s commitment to continue to be an educational leader in the STEM disciplines .
I’m sure that you’re aware that Vassar is also a >1000 acre arboretum and destination point for many, so I was particularity pleased that restoration of the Edith Roberts Ecological Laboratory was incorporated into the renovations.
The renown Undergraduate Research Summer Institute (URSI) will also benefit significantly from Vassar’s new science commons.
I’m also thrilled Vassar corrected the lousy food problem.
