Its readership includes students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumnae/i, and surrounding community members who consume the publication to stay informed about campus life. The paper positions itself as a source of journalistic reporting and thoughtful writing produced by members of the college community, contributing to the broader tradition of collegiate weeklies founded in the 19th century. In recent activity, the publication continues to be produced by a sizable cohort of student volunteers, highlighting its role as a hands-on educational platform for aspiring journalists at Vassar College.
