Dear Vanderbilt community,
Please know that the university’s resources are available to you should you need assistance after the strong storms and tornadoes that moved through the region.
Our thoughts are with you, and with those in some of the hardest hit areas, such as our neighbors in Kentucky.
We are still assessing any potential impact for the university and our community members, but at this time have no reports of damage either to the campus or community members’ homes.
We recognize that many of you may still be determining to what extent you have been affected.
Vanderbilt community members who have been impacted should reach out to the following resources for support.
Sincerely,
Eric Kopstain
