HOW YOUR DONATION HELPS

"I come from a family who believes very strongly in education. My father was a first-generation college student—his father was a gas station attendant and a janitor. I give back because Vanderbilt also understands the power of education. I’ve always been a proud graduate, but Vanderbilt’s commitment to access makes me even prouder to be a Commodore." -Brettany Shannon, BA’98

"Because Vanderbilt has done so much for me and my family, I want to do my part to make Arts and Science even better. For me, it’s all about equity, and how philanthropy can help ensure all students, regardless of their financial means, have the opportunity to be exposed to new experiences and people, just like I have." -Owen Brody, Class of 2021
