Question: Who founded the college The Vassar Haiti Project is associated with?

The Vassar Haiti Project (VHP), founded in 2001, is a nonprofit organization that promotes Haitian art, fosters sustainable development in Haiti, and mentors student and community volunteers in the principles and practice of global citizenship.  Through art auctions and sales, VHP supports the welfare of Haitian artists and artisans.  These art sales provide the primary means of funding for initiatives in education, health care, water access and purification, and reforestation in Chermaitre, Haiti, a mountain village in the Nord-Ouest, Haiti.  VHP has a strong educational component, dedicated both to raising awareness of Haitian culture and society in the United States and elsewhere, and to providing a practical education in global citizenship to students, alumnae/i, and friends of Vassar College.  The Vassar Haiti Project is incorporated in New York as Haiti Project, Inc., and is a registered U.S. 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. <SEP>  Founded in 1861 by Matthew Vassar, it was the first degree-granting institution of higher education for women in the United States. Vassar College ( ) is a private, coeducational, liberal arts college in the town of Poughkeepsie, New York, in the United States.  It became coeducational in 1969, and now has a gender ratio at the national average.  The school is one of the historic Seven Sisters, the first elite female colleges in the U.S., and has a historic relationship with Yale University, which suggested a merger with the college before coeducation at both institutions. <SEP> Lenelle Moïse (born 1980) is a poet, actress and playwright born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.  Currently based in the United States, she performs at colleges throughout the country, presenting work about race, gender, class, immigration and sexuality.  Her spoken word CD "Madivinez" won the 2007 Patchwork Majority Radio Album Award for Best Solo Album.  Moïse was a member of the permanent ensemble cast in the Culture Project's premiere production of "Rebel Voices", a play by Rob Urbinati based on Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove's book "Voices of a People's History of the United States."  In 2008, she developed a two-person vocal musical about art, infamy and race called "EXPATRIATE", also at the Culture Project, in which she co-starred with Karla Cheatham-Mosley.  When she was a junior at Ithaca College, Lenelle co-wrote "Sexual Dependency", a feature film by Bolivian filmmaker Rodrigo Bellot who was a schoolmate at the time.  The film went on to win the International Film Critics' Award at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland.  Moïse also wrote and starred in Mara Alper's short experimental video "To Erzulie" which premiered at the Berlin Sommerfest der Literaturen in July 2002.  She has completed her own experimental shorts "Blue Passersby Eyes" and "Atlantic Soul."  Her homemade music video "Pied Piper" was an official selection of the International Museum of Women 2007 Online Film Festival.  Her essays and poems are published in a number of anthologies, most recently "Word Warriors: 35 Women Leaders of the Spoken Word Revolution" (Seal Press).  Her debut book "Haiti Glass" (City Lights Publishers, April 2014), part of the Sister Spit series, is a collection of verse and prose.  She experiments with collage as a form of meditative practice and nonlinear storytelling. <SEP> Jyotsna Vaid is a Professor of Psychology and Women's and Gender Studies at Texas A&M University and an affiliated faculty of the South Asia Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.  She specializes in multiple language experience and cross-linguistic investigations, and has published extensively on the cognitive and neural bases of bi/multilingualism.  More recently she is studying the influence of informal translation experience, or language brokering on psycholinguistic functioning.  Other research she has conducted has examined the processing of jokes(see links below), spatial biases in cognition related to reading/writing direction, and characteristics of the language of personal advertisements.  Most notably, Vaid's research in neuropsychology has clarified the role of the two cerebral hemispheres in bilingual language processing; her work shows that early onset of bilingualism is associated with more bilateral involvement in language, in contrast to the greater left hemisphere dominance for language among single language users.  Vaid received a B.A. in biopsychology from Vassar College and an M.A. and Ph.D. from McGill University in experimental psychology.  She completed two postdoctoral fellowships, one at Michigan State University and the other jointly at the Center for Research in Language at the University of California, San Diego, and at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, before joining Texas A&M, where she is currently a full professor in psychology and Director of the Language and Cognition Lab (see link below).  For 10 years Vaid edited the Committee on South Asian Women (COSAW) Bulletin and in 2009 she co-founded the journal Writing Systems Research.
