Dean’s Diversity Lecture with Provost Cybele Raver

Join us for our Dean’s Diversity Lecture with Provost Cybele Raver on Flipping the Script: Notes from My Path to University Leadership.

C. Cybele Raver is an esteemed psychologist whose research has addressed the impacts of poverty and policy on early learning and development. She is also an accomplished academic trailblazer. Having identified both at the center and at the margins of institutions of higher education, Raver has come to understand herself as a university leader through all of her academic experiences – first as a community-engaged graduate student working to combat poverty, then as an early career quantitative social scientist translating research into policy, and as a center director and deputy, provost mobilizing, supporting, and promoting interdisciplinary research to solve society’s most pressing challenges.

As Vanderbilt’s provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, Raver oversees all faculty, staff, programs, and initiatives for Vanderbilt’s 10 schools and colleges. Join us for a Dean’s Diversity Lecture to learn more about her scholarship and unique leadership trajectory.

The lecture will also be streamed online

University Counseling Center (UCC) Drop-in Consultation for International and APIDA-identifying Students

UCC Drop-In Consultation provides easy access to informal, confidential, and free consultations with University Counseling Center counselors.

UCC Drop-In Consultation is generally helpful for students who 1) are not sure about counseling and wonder what it’s like to talk with a counselor, 2) may not be interested in ongoing therapy but would like the perspective of a counselor, 3) have a specific problem and would like to talk it through with a counselor, or 4) have a concern about a friend and want some thoughts about what to do.

Students who are experiencing an immediate mental health emergency are encouraged to attend UCC Urgent Care, instead of Drop-In Consultation. For any questions about UCC Drop-In Consultation, please call 615-322-2571.

Every Tuesday
2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
