Composer and sound designer Fitz Patton ’88 has earned many awards, but called the night he won the 2019 Tony award for best sound design for the critically acclaimed production of Choir Boy “possibly the greatest night” of his life.

Vassar College has named Micah Kenfield, formerly Sustainability Programs Manager at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, as its Director of Sustainability. Kenfield will start his new job July 22.

Vassar was well represented at New York City’s World Pride Parade on June 30, while two longtime gay rights activists, Eric Marcus ’80 and Ann Northrop ’70, took part in an alternative march on the same day that was organized to protest what they called the over-commercialization of the main event.
