Daring to Grow: ‘Together, we are building The Great University of the 21st Century’
The spirit of “daring to grow” is inherent to our Vanderbilt way of life, and it extends to every member of our community.

It lives among our coaches and student-athletes as they continually raise the bar for their own accomplishments.
