Anchor Link

Student User

An Anchor Link Student User is defined as either:

  • a student who uses Anchor Link to find events, organizations, volunteer opportunities, and stay in touch with what’s going on around campus
  • a student who is an organization member, but does not currently have access to manage an Anchor Link organization page

Below you will see a video that gives a brief overview of what you can do in Anchor Link.

Explore Page

The Home view is the default view when users log into the community. Home is the community home page, where users can see important campus alerts, their organization memberships, check out upcoming events, read news posts, find shortcuts to their co-curricular Paths, and helpful Campus Links. The Home page is also where users can view organization pages and access content created by organization officers or administrators. Every user in the community will have access to the Explore View.

Events

Clicking Events on the left-side toolbar will allow the user to access the complete listing of events registered to “Anyone in the world” and “Students & staff at Vanderbilt.” Events that are visible to organization members only will also be shown here, if you are a member of that organization. Search for events by date, name, theme, category, and perks.

Organizations

Clicking Organizations on the left-side toolbar will allow the user to access the complete listing of organizations in the system. Search for organizations alphabetically by name or by category. Clicking on an organization’s name will provide basic profile information for that organization as well as any content they have chosen to display publicly or to campus users.

News

Clicking News on the left-side toolbar will allow the user to access all news articles posted by organizations or university departments. The news feed always displays “Public” articles and will also display “Campus Only” articles when a user is logged in.

Forms

Clicking Forms on the left-side toolbar will allow the user to access any public forms users can complete. Forms that were started but not submitted will be noted with red text on the right side of the form “1 Submission in Progress.”
