Vice Chancellor James Page Jr. (Joe Howell/Vanderbilt)

The Vanderbilt community is invited to two town halls with James Page Jr., vice chancellor for equity, diversity and inclusion and chief diversity officer, and Melissa Thomas-Hunt, vice provost for inclusive excellence. The goal of the town halls is to open up a space for authentic dialogue that builds trust, dignity, respect and inclusion within the Vanderbilt community.

The first town hall is scheduled for Nov. 13 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The second town hall will be on Dec. 6 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Both events will be held in the Student Life Center Board of Trust Room and are open to all Vanderbilt staff, students and faculty.
