My Vanderbilt Experience is a year-long program that provides you a roadmap to your engagement outside the classroom. Managed through Anchor Link, My Vanderbilt Experience offers a menu of events and activities to participate in across campus. Events are broken into six tracks focused on important topics including: Arts, Cultural Awareness, Dores After Dark, Health & Wellness, Leadership & Service, and School Spirit.
Participation is tracked via card-swipe at eligible events and your progress is automatically displayed through the Paths dashboard of Anchor Link. To complete the program, students need to participate two or three items in each track (14 total).
Participating in My Vanderbilt Experience will allow you to experience the breadth of unique programs that Vanderbilt has to offer, build new relationships, challenge established ways of thinking, and discover your passions. This program is geared towards students who are looking to have a well-rounded college experience or to establish themselves as leaders on campus. Students who complete this program will be honored at the annual Vanderbilt Awards for Leadership Excellence (VALE) and become part of the My Vanderbilt Experience Society which offers special privileges such as professional development opportunities, networking events, and leadership opportunities. In addition, they will gain critical skills and experiences that will benefit them when applying for leadership positions, internships, and professional jobs.
Throughout the year, students who complete individual tracks will also be eligible for drawings to receive special experiences and prizes.
