In celebration of All College Day 2009, the Strong House leadership team would like to Hear All Voices about women and leadership at Vassar.
Old School VSA Meeting in Rocky
Welcome!
Welcome to the Women & Leadership at Vassar blog. This blog is a project started by Strong House in attempt to create dialogue about the ways in which women engage in leadership roles on campus.
In the last three years...
- 0 of 3 VSA Presidents have been women.
- 8 of 14 VSA Exec members have been women.
- 6 of 26 House Presidents have been women (and 3 of them had to be women from Strong)!
- 2 of 12 Class Presidents have been women.
Did you know?
- Since 2002-03, only 21 of 62 house presidents have been women
- Of the last 10 VSA Presidents, 4 were women, 6 were men. Most recently, there are have been five consecutive male VSA presidents.
- Of 53 VSA Exec Board members, 25 were women, 28 were men.

Applying for a selected student leader position is way more comfortable. First off, the positions on this campus are more dominated traditionally by women, so there is that comfort zone. Also, when the position is selected you are only being judged by a few people, in the case of student fellows it's like 2 or 3 people compared to your entire dorm or class or Vassar as a whole. I think it's hard to volunteer to be judged like that, especially by my peers. I am way more comfortable being judged by administration or "adults" on campus than I am by my classmates.
