This Month’s Topic: Important End-of-Semester Information

It’s hard to believe how quickly the spring semester has flown by. As we approach the end of another enriching academic year here at Vanderbilt University, I wanted to touch base with you regarding some important dates and details to help ensure a smooth transition for your student.

Calling all senior parents

Seniors Give Back is a time-honored Vanderbilt tradition that allows seniors to come together as a class and give back through a gift of any size to the area that has been most meaningful to them. This year, all graduating seniors who have made a gift to Vanderbilt through Seniors Give Back will be given a special graduation cord to wear with their regalia at Commencement, demonstrating the impact the Class of 2024 has had, and will continue to have, on Vanderbilt.

Has your senior made their gift? If not, you can make a gift on their behalf and in honor of their graduation. This can be a gift of any size, to any area of campus. Give online and select “I am a PARENT of an alum or current/incoming student.” Students can pick up their Seniors Give Back cord when they pick up their regalia. Thank you and congratulations on your student’s upcoming graduation! We look forward to celebrating with you in May.

Make A Gift

This Giving Day, supporters worldwide made gifts that will improve every aspect of Vanderbilt's work. More than 6,000 donors helped us to raise $9.4M in gifts. Your gifts bolstered our Dare to Grow initiative, powering scholarship, discovery, community and belonging—and furthering the Vanderbilt Way. We are deeply grateful for your generosity.

Connecting Students to Professional Opportunities

The Career Center uses Handshake, the leading early career community in the U.S., to help students learn and connect to professional opportunities on and off campus. Students can use Handshake to search for internships and jobs, experience the hiring process on campus with employers, sign up for professional development and more. In the last year, more than 13,000 internships spanning all industries were posted to Handshake for Vanderbilt students to access.

As your student begins looking for internships or jobs on Handshake, encourage them to prepare by making an appointment with the Career Center to touch up their resume, practice interviewing or get an updated headshot.
