IMAGES is the yearly submission-based student publication created by the ALANA Center in 1988 as a vehicle for creative self-expression for African-American/Black, Latinx, Asian/Asian-American, and Native American students. Since 1988, IMAGES continues to reflect the different needs, thoughts, and accomplishments of Vassar’s communities of color. The publication strives to continue as a space of resilience and creativity for the unwavering voices of students of color on this campus.
