Join us in celebrating the spirit of generosity and community on Vanderbilt Giving Day 2025. Every contribution, no matter the size, is a testament to the power of collective action.
When you choose to give to Dialogue Vanderbilt, your gift directly supports a culture built upon the university’s long-held values of free expression, civil discourse and institutional neutrality across campus and beyond through opportunities including:
- Stipends for students from all backgrounds to pursue experiential learning through the Vanderbilt Civil Discourse Lab—such as internships, immersion projects and extracurricular programs like participation on the Debate Team—in which they can exercise civil discourse beyond the classroom, expand their critical and creative skills, and help position themselves for post-graduation success.
- Engaging programming that brings high-caliber speakers and our community together to advance free expression and open dialogue on campus.
- Direct student involvement in the Dialogue Vanderbilt Student Advisory Board, in which undergraduates help design programs for their peers, host visiting speakers and serve as representatives of the program to the campus community.
By giving, you join the entire Commodore community in making a significant impact to build a community in which our perspectives and understandings of one another are profoundly expanded through exposure to all sides of the issues that shape our society.
Your contribution today will not only count toward our Dare to Grow campaign goal but also fuel our mission for generations to come.
As we continue to build upon our legacy of innovation, inclusivity and trailblazing research, your support is crucial. Together, we can shape the future of our university and make a lasting impact. #VU4LIFE
