Family Weekend
Families spend years planning, saving, and guiding students to prepare them for entry into college. Vanderbilt provides programs, services, volunteer opportunities and publications designed to help acclimate Vanderbilt parents and families to campus life. In addition, we host a special Family Weekend.
