What is MilitaryVU?

The MilitaryVU Identity Initiative expands efforts to promote the academic, personal, and professional development of Vanderbilt’s active military and veteran scholars and faculty. Through increasing the amount of services specifically for the military community, along with co-creating resources and opportunities to connect, MilitaryVU and its Network Partners aim to

educate the Vanderbilt community about the various realities of people in the U.S. Armed Forces
create community-building opportunities to increase the sense of belonging among faculty and undergraduate, graduate, professional, and post-doctoral scholars who are active military or veterans
develop methods of support to assist military and veteran scholars in reaching their academic goals and preparing for jobs in their respective career fields
