As an international student at Vassar, VHP became my family and my support system from the first day I joined the organization. Lila, Andrew, and my Vassar and Chermaitre friends at VHP taught me invaluable lessons of teamwork, leadership, compassion, and appreciation. The skills I developed as a member of VHP allowed me to grow both personally and professionally, and to this day I strive to respect and support others the way that my VHP family supported me.
