A wiki is a collaboratively edited internet publication. VassarWiki is simply a wiki for Vassar College. The aim of the project is to collectively organize and publicize community knowledge about Vassar—its academic programs, student life, and ongoing history.

The Featured Page section of the Main Page is meant to spotlight a topic and contributors' hard work! To get a page featured, nominate it on the talk page.

Some discussion and revisions may be needed first, to ensure the page aligns with policies and guidelines. Pages will be featured until another page is selected to replace it, but at least one full day.

If you have a chance, take a look at the About and Policies pages and give your thoughts, questions, support, criticisms, etc. Please reach out if you have any questions.
