With 81,000 students back in Metro Nashville Public Schools classrooms, Vanderbilt Community Relations is working with PENCIL to ensure teachers have what they need and students start strong, continuing a partnership that has supported Nashville schools for years.
This September, Vanderbilt University partners with Nashville’s leading arts and cultural institutions to launch a new season of community programs—offering conversations, performances and panels that highlight history, creativity and connection.
Get Connected streamlines how members of the Vanderbilt community engage with service opportunities. The tool allows community partners to share their needs directly with campus, and it gives volunteers the flexibility to find opportunities that match their skills, schedules and interests.
