SEARCH COMPLETE: Retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Scott Brower named Director of the Bass Military Scholars Program
Summary
Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Susan R. Wente has appointed a committee to conduct a national search for the next director of the Bass Military Scholars Program.
The program director sets the strategic leadership and direction for the Bass Military Scholars Program. The Bass Military Scholars Program provides financial aid and programming for meritorious professional students who are honorably discharged US Military or Coast Guard veterans pursuing post-baccalaureate degrees to be awarded from Vanderbilt’s Law School (J.D. program), Owen Graduate School of Management (M.B.A. program), Peabody College (M.Ed. and M.P.P. program), School of Medicine (M.D. program), and School of Nursing (M.S.N. program). Veterans participating in the program provide meaningful mentoring for other students at Vanderbilt to expose the student body to the values, discipline, and mission focus veterans bring to the classroom. This provides the Vanderbilt student body a better awareness and appreciation of the life experience, selfless service and sacrifice common to US military and Coast Guard veterans.
Vanderbilt University is excited to be able to offer this opportunity to US military and Coast Guard veterans and is looking for a director who is eager to recruit and support these scholars.
