About Us

The Vanderbilt University Corporate Partnerships teams (CP@VU) is housed with the Career Advancement & Engagement (CAE) division. This team is located both in Nashville (6 staff) and across each of the new regional Vanderbilt locations (1 staff each in Atlanta, Houston, New York City, and South Florida).

This office serves campus as the concierge for any corporate inquiries and opportunities—ensuring connection and follow through for optimal alignment with VU for mutual benefits. CP@VU also works to proactively facilitate, expand, and advance a select portfolio of strategic corporate accounts engaging across the university enterprise.
