It includes members of the Jean and Alexander Heard Library Scholarly Communications team, the Center for Second Language Studies, the Vanderbilt Institute for Digital Learning, the Center for Teaching, the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities, and the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise, and Policy. It also includes the mentors and scholars in Vanderbilt’s HASTAC program, and the many faculty and graduate students associated with key digital projects and initiatives.
