Walk and Talk Tuesday

Looking for a fun way to break up your week, get moving, and connect with colleagues? Join us for Walk & Talk Tuesdays, a voluntary initiative led by Wellbeing Champions that brings faculty, staff, and postdocs together for a refreshing 30-minute walk each Tuesday during the lunch hour. Grab a friend (or make a new one!) and discover how small steps can lead to better health and meaningful connections.

Walks take place every Tuesday from 12-12:30 p.m. We’ll meet at the Alumni Lawn flagpole before heading out on a relaxed route around campus.

Join our Teams channel to stay in the loop with weekly reminders and event updates!

Note: This event is for Vanderbilt faculty, staff and postdocs only, and is not open to the general public.

Tour Tuesday

Tour Tuesday, now in collaboration with Walk & Talk Tuesdays, is held on the second Tuesday of each month. These guided walks invite Vanderbilt faculty, staff, and postdocs to connect with colleagues from across campus while exploring some of Vanderbilt’s hidden treasures. Led by long-time Vanderbilt professor and grants manager Brandon Hulette, each tour features fascinating campus sites—from 4,000-year-old cuneiform tablets and the one-of-a-kind TV News Archive to Civil War–era landmarks woven into our campus landscape. Each tour will last approximately 30 minutes.

Note: This event is for Vanderbilt faculty, staff and postdocs only, and is not open to the general public.
