Working with Assitant to the Dean of the College Andrew Meade and Christine White, the director of the card office, seven local businesses agreed to accept charges to the Vassar ID Card, or V-Card, as payment for their goods and services. “Topics we, along with Christine and folks who work with her, will be tackling,” said Meade, “are how to make this program user friendly and as attractive to students and possible as well as how to best get word of this program out to parents.”

Business owners and the college hoped the new system would make their restaurants and stores more accessible to students.
