Welcome, Vanderbilt parents and families. Find information here to get involved with the university, support your student’s needs, plan visits to campus, and more.
We know that student success is rooted in a deep sense of belonging, feeling accepted and having the resources to realize their full potential.
We believe that personal purpose can only be found through relentless exploration and challenge.
We value collaboration over competition, breaking down silos to pursue personal discovery and research opportunities to impact our world.
We remain open to new perspectives, people, challenges and ideas so we can be change agents. We never stop growing and achieving.
Join a team of family leaders with opportunities in your local area, virtually, and on campus.
Support the career center, recruiting efforts, new Vanderbilt families, and more.
Gifts to the university contribute to furthering our mission of academic excellence, innovative discovery, and service through leadership. Your gift can make a difference today for our students.
