Vassar stands upon the homelands of the Munsee Lenape. The College is located in Poughkeepsie, home to a culturally diverse community, and benefits from convenient commuter rail access to New York City.

The College maintains a generous leave policy, provides strong support for research, and encourages multidisciplinary approaches to teaching.
