Summer Orientation
Immediately prior to each academic year, first-year and returning Scholars come together to organize for the upcoming year with an orientation program. Traditionally, orientation has been held the week prior to the arrival of new students to campus. This orientation acquaints new Scholars with both the components of the Program and their individual obligations. It is also a time for Scholars to develop personal relationships with fellow Ingram Scholars and program advisors. The summer orientation program is designed to acclimate scholars to Vanderbilt and Nashville and to develop research, presentation and community-building skills.
