News :: Vanderbilt Center for Science Outreach

Just in time for the start of the school year, the School for Science and Math has a new web address, http://theschool.vanderbilt.edu/. We hope the address lets our new students, their families, and the community understand how highly Vanderbilt University views their work and dedication to this new partnership with Metro Nashville Public Schools.

The School for Science and Math at Vanderbilt has kicked off its inaugural year with the first freshman class attending orientation today. Students and their parents were introduced to members of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (Vice Chancellor Dr. Harry Jacobson, School of Medicine Dean Dr. Steven Gabbe, and Associate Vice Chancellor Dr. Jeffrey Balser), members of Metro Nashville Public Schools (Director of Schools Dr. Pedro Garcia, School Board Chair Marsha Warden, and Executive Director of PreK-12 Administrative Services Jim Overstreet), the Nashville Alliance for Public Education 's Executive Director Pam Garrett, and the Vanderbilt Center for Science Outreach 's Director Dr. Virginia Shepherd. Students were also able to meet Dr. Glenn McCombs, the School's director, and faculty members Drs. Angela Eeds, Kimberlie McCue, and Chris Vanags.

Following the program, students were issued identification cards from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and activated their network credentials and email addresses.
