Vanderbilt’s equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging efforts are being decentralized from the former Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in favor of a “distributed, collaborative” model. This process began this summer, and a university-wide EDIB collaborative will be launched in January. Vice Provost of Student Affairs and Dean of Students G.L. Black said the decentralization.
A $6.8 million gift from an anonymous donor will support Immersion Vanderbilt and provide funding to students to carry out creative and ambitious projects that deepen their intellect and broaden their horizons.
