Vassar and the Liberal Arts: Then and Now
4:30 p.m. Reception and opening. The appetizers will be Fair Trade organic vegan mini-quiches (lunch food + breakfast food = multi-disciplinary) from some country where your roommate got wasted during her Junior Year Abroad. Pure liberal arts goodness. Thompson Memorial Library Gallery.
6 p.m. Lecture. "Mooching Off Your Parents For All Eternity: How Vassar Students From 150 Years Ago to The Present Put Their Degrees to Use." Taylor Hall.
Saturday, 1/22
8 p.m. Aethelred the Unready. Listen, Aethie, don't even try to tell Vassar kids about being "unready" until you have three papers, two exams, the opening night of some weird Drama Department independent study you reluctantly decided to participate in, the death of your beloved family rabbit and a soul-crushing breakup all going down within the same 48-hour span. Otherwise, not interested. Martel Auditorium.
Saturday, 1/29
10 p.m. Sesquicentennial Student Dance Party. The theme is* "Sexy-Centennial," so break out your least modest mid-19th-century undergarments and polish up those pickup lines playing off how "Vassar" contains the word "ass:" shit's gonna get real. Students' Building.
* By "is" I mean "totally should be but most likely isn't."

Bardavon Opera House.
Friday, 4/29- Saturday, 4/30
All the times. Founder's Day Weekend. Totally overrated, in my opinion. You'll find me come April 30 enjoying a good read in my room, or maybe quietly getting ahead on finals work. It's never too early to start studying for art history, as I always say! Everywhere.
May- June 2011
