There are few activities at Vassar that I've enjoyed more than my work on The Miscellany News. The Misc, as students call it, was founded in 1866 as The Vassar Miscellany, and has spanned the history of the College. Students here have a proud tradition of investigative journalism, a tradition which we continue into the present day.
Just last night, we 'scooped' the College in announcing some major upcoming changes to campus dining. We posted our story on our Web site http://misc.vassar.edu at 1 a.m. and administrators sent out their announcement at 10 a.m. today. It felt wonderful to inform the community and beat them to it! Next year, the All Campus Dining Center (ACDC for short) will be remodeled to allow for a lot more up-front food preparation. Vassar will also renovate the Kiosk, a coffee and snack stand in the College Center for people on the move during the day. There has also been some talk of adding another convenience store in ACDC, which would have small, a la cart items.
Pretty cool. I love student journalism here at Vassar, and would encourage all students - current and prospective - to get involved. The more voices we are able to represent, the stronger The Misc becomes, even 140 years after its founding.
