Vassar College Counseling Service (VCCS) welcomes students of all backgrounds and experiences. We are here to support you. 

Statement of Solidarity

The Vassar College Counseling Service staff stand together with all who have been impacted by recent and longstanding race-based oppression and violence. We recognize that these tragedies are especially injurious to people of color and members of our Black and African-American community. With our collective anger, heartbreak, and sorrow, we condemn structural and systemic racism and state unequivocally that there should be no place for it in our Vassar community or the larger world. We join others in our commitment to social justice and will continue to engage in anti-racist work towards building an equitable, inclusive, and just society.

With love and concern, we offer self-care resources for our students.
