What’s Happening On Campus
The first thing you should know about life on Vanderbilt’s campus is that there is never a dull moment. With over 510 student organizations, 68 academic departments, 16 varsity athletic teams, and a newly renovated student recreation and wellness center, there is literally always something going on, which means our students are constantly involved in the campus community both in and out of the classroom.
