Club Spotlight: Fairfield County VC |
|
The Vassar Club of Fairfield County held a social event in August for newly admitted students. Hosted by Michaela MacColl ’88 in Westport, the event brought eight students and their families together with local alums. Vassar legends were shared by alums, roommate worries were shared by the freshmen, and ride-sharing information was shared by the parents. A good time was had by all.
