This page is a proposal under consideration.

It does not yet reflect consensus and is open for discussion.

Welcome to VassarWiki, a wiki for the Vassar College community!

Put simply, a wiki is a collaboratively edited website. While many wikis are encyclopedias, they don't have to be. VassarWiki was created to be an encyclopedia and more: an open space for the Vassar community to collectively share and organize information. We hope to build a persistent institutional memory and bridge otherwise isolated corners of our campus....

📌 Bulletin

The wiki should now be accessible to everyone online! Before it can be "officially" launched, consensus needs to be reached regarding its foundations. Please take a look at VassarWiki:About and VassarWiki:Policies and give your thoughts (whether you agree or disagree + your rationale) on the talk page! Ewelchmorgan (talk) 21:42, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
