For Emma Glickman ’18, the first clues to the story of her family’s ordeal in Nazi-occupied Poland were the tiny bite marks she found on a gold locket her grandmother, Elizabeth Hoffman Glickman, had given her a few years before she died. Since then, the Vassar senior has begun to unravel the mystery further.

Elizabeth Aeschlimann, Vassar’s Rachlin Director for Jewish Student Life, led 11 students through a half-semester course on the use of Jewish ethical writing and practice to help them “align our actions with our values.”

Vassar’s radio station, WVKR, provides a platform for music and political discussion that you just can’t hear anywhere else, say the DJs who bring programming to the campus and beyond day and night.
