Dean's Global Council

The Dean’s Global Council consists of school-level appointees and deans with global activities in their portfolios. Vanderbilt University’s global engagement is underpinned by the strengths of our immersive and rigorous study and research opportunities for students, eminent faculty, and exceptional library resources. By harnessing these assets, we will become intentionally global, an institution of global consequence, and a force of good in the world. This council shares information on how each of the schools and colleges contributes to the university-wide global directives and helps shape our shared objectives.
