Community Description:

Creative Campus Residential Fellows

Creative Campus Residential Fellows (CCRF) experience is designed to connect students across academic disciplines and interests, and to encourage ongoing participation and engagement in cultural programs and initiatives. Housed in Vanderbilt-Barnard, Creative Campus Residential Fellows are expected to participate fully in a yearlong, explorative learning experience. Fellows gain exposure to the Nashville community through activities such as attending performances at TPAC or visiting Cheekwood. Fellows also have the opportunity for leadership experience by being a member of the executive council. Additionally, Fellows explore ways to engage and serve the community at Vanderbilt and beyond by planning and executing creatively-themed service projects. For questions, contact Celeste Sagi (Director of the Office of Arts and Creative Engagement) at celeste.b.sagi@vanderbilt.edu or Maryann Rainey(Graduate Assistant) at maryann.a.rainey@vanderbilt.edu.
