Posting Policies

It is the goal of Student Life Center to provide a venue for student groups and Vanderbilt departments to promote events and happenings. We have developed a group of policies designed to promote a fair and equitable use of space within the Student Life Center. Should you have questions about the policies please contact Campus Events at 322-2471.
