About our namesake: K.C. Potter

K.C. Potter, Vanderbilt’s long-serving dean of residential and judicial affairs, retired after 36 years at the University as a student and administrator. Potter cared deeply for all Vanderbilt students, particularly marginalized students, including Vanderbilt’s LGBTQ2S+ population. Potter was the first administrator to reach out to them, give them a voice, and help them stake their claim on campus life. For almost 10 years, Potter let Vanderbilt’s LGBTQ2S+ undergraduate student group, Lambda, meet at his home on West Side Row. Potter now spends his days happily working on his farm with his partner, Richard.
