One of Vassar's many unique academic programs involves the Green Haven Prison. For three decades, the College's Africana Studies and Sociology programs have allowed students to study the prison system from all angles. Students are able to travel to local prisons, and talk to incarcerated individuals about their experiences. Check out this video about the program!

About

Read about what I'm up to these days on LinkedIn. My name is Brian, a 2010 graduate of Vassar College, and current student at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City. I wrote this blog between 2008 and 2010 for Vassar's Offices of Admissions and Communications as a student intern.

At Vassar, I was a double major in History and Political Science and a minor in Art History. Outside of the classroom, I was Vice President for Operations of the Vassar Student Association, Vassar's student government. Previously, I served as Editor in Chief of The Miscellany News, Vassar's student newspaper since 1866, and researched the paper's long history. I served on a host of campus committees including the Committee on Admissions and Financial Aid and the History Major's Committee. I was also Co-Chair of the Senior Class Gift Committee, which raised a record-breaking $22,800 to create the Class of 2010 Endowed Scholarship Fund.
