Super interesting piece on our (out of whack) beauty culture and our (lame/weak) attempts to look at it critically. By @DaraGreenwood and with a hilarious cartoon by @lizadonnelly
so delighted to have the creative stylings of @lizadonnelly (visiting scholar @Vassar in Media Studies) to add to this piece! @PsychToday https://t.co/WdBLrKASMx
A love-my-job moment. Groundbreaking with Matthew Vassar’s original shovel @vassar! The new Dede Thompson Bartlett Center for Admission and Career Education starts now.
.@GovKathyHochul as a New York resident and mother, I urge you to promptly sign bill S7424 that would require all camps and youth sports programs to establish an automated external defibrillator implementation plan.
We were thrilled to have @FLOTUS in Poughkeepsie today. She visited @DayOneCommunity, co-founded by @glaybourne '69, she also talked to former students like Stacy Bingham, our career education guru, and area leaders like @ehbvassar (Photo by Patrick Oehler – @USATODAY Network)
Started my new job @Vassar last week. When I walked into my office this card - from a @fordhamuniversity colleague - was waiting for me! Thoughtful & hilarious. It made me feel supported & understood - ha. Also, I’m a slouch for never doing this for anyone else! 👀@BobHoweBKNY 😍

Spot on. Paraphrase: Our work must be driven by the idea that higher ed not only leads to better jobs, but also by the notion that a better-educated population—reflecting the diversity that’s been a hallmark of the American experiment for centuries—serves our shared interests.
Higher education needs to change—let’s start by making clear why it matters in an increasingly complex, dangerous world. My talk at the @americanacad Higher Ed Forum this week in Aspen https://t.co/iL6tknP2Zo #highered#equity#democracy
New York City is overhauling how schools teach reading — a tough transition with big potential in a system where half of children in grades 3-8 aren’t proficient.
“It’s not your fault. It’s not your child’s fault,” the chancellor said. “It was our fault.”
