Parent Ambassador Council

Students and family enjoying Family Weekend's Fall for the Arts on the Peabody Esplanade.

Parent Ambassador Council (PAC) members are invited ambassadors of the parent community representing the four undergraduate schools, class years, and regions. Council members are top parent leaders waving the black and gold flag in their local communities and at Vanderbilt events, supporting the university's future endeavors and initiatives.

Dear Vanderbilt Families,

As another academic year begins, we are excited to extend a heartfelt welcome on behalf of the Vanderbilt Parent Ambassador Council. Whether your student is just settling into campus life or is approaching graduation, each year at Vanderbilt brings new opportunities for them to learn, grow, and find their place in this extraordinary community.

Our daughter, Viviana, is a rising senior majoring in Medicine, Health, and Society with a minor in Biology. Over the years, she has embraced the many experiences Vanderbilt offers, playing on the Women’s Club Volleyball team, being a part of Volunteers for Health, and building strong relationships with faculty and peers. When she first arrived on campus, she was struck by how genuinely welcoming and supportive everyone was, and that spirit has remained constant throughout her time here.
