Zeppos College represents an expansion of the residential college system—a key pillar of the Academic Strategic Plan representing vibrant living-learning communities that create transformative educational experiences for Vanderbilt students.
The residents at Zeppos are a lively bunch! I absolutely love running into them while eating outside or hanging out in our spacious arcades. We’ve also had some great moments to get to know one another through our weekly Zone NightZ activities. The Zeppos residents are co-creators of this magical place, and I am constantly energized by the vibrant spirit and energy that they bring that causes this college – our home – to teem with life! – Audrey Bowden, Faculty Head, Nicholas S.
