Student Organizations
The Student Center for Social Justice and Identity at Vanderbilt University is a vibrant hub supporting over 40 student organizations, each dedicated to fostering cultural understanding, social justice, and community engagement.
Our student-first advising model ensures that organizations receive tailored guidance, empowering student leaders to effectively pursue their respective missions and initiatives. From cultural affinity groups celebrating diversity to activist organizations driving change on campus and beyond, our diverse range of advised organizations reflects the rich tapestry of identities and causes championed by Vanderbilt students.
