About Us

The Office of Leadership Development and Intercultural Affairs (LDIA) was founded in spring 2006 when two separate offices combined to better serve the Vanderbilt community. It is a core belief of the office that strong future leaders are culturally and civically proficient in a world that is becoming increasingly inclusive.

LDIA strives to stimulate collaboration between the various divisions that comprise one of America’s top universities. Located in the Community Partnership House on central campus, LDIA provides resources, advocacy, and programs to develop students as global leaders in a diverse society. The programs offered are nationally recognized as one of the TOP 100 Leadership Development programs in America.
