Welcome to PHOCUS online!

PHOCUS is happy to announce the launch of an online space for the photography community of Vassar College. In addition to our new website, our mission is to provide students with access to a well-equipped and well-kept darkroom, as well as a digital printer, and to create a supportive environment for student photographers while also providing a link between the photographers and the rest of the campus through photography exhibits and our annual publication FIX.

    Submit your photos for FIX!

    Phocus is accepting submissions for FIX until April 1. Photos will be printed in black and white, although you may submit color photos as long as you realize they will be edited. Send submissions to phocus.vassar@gmail.com.
