In thinking to Zoe Leonard's 1993 poem "I want a president..." For Freedoms Vassar College will be presenting: "We want a President", an opportunity to write your own ballot, poem, ideas, grievances, etc. towards either the President of the USA or the future President of Vassar College. All collected "ballots" will be distributed to the Vassar College Selection Committee for the next President.

Swing by the Collaboratory tomorrow between 10-5 as we exercise this last project before discovering the results of tomorrow's election.

P.s. the shiny box is the ballot box! Merry Election season xoxo

With 8 days left until the election, we will be offering programming in the Collaboratory all week (located in the trailer outside of Rocky).
Our projects include Michele Pred's (sign a pro-Choice message to congressmen or take a photo with a pro-Choice sign, all of which she is collecting and will mail out) as well as For Freedom's "Freedom of/ Freedom for" Yard Sign project. If not for the art projects, come to discuss politics with us.
