Daring to Do More

We have dared our community to grow and now we are unstoppable.

Publicly launched in spring 2023, the Dare to Grow campaign has catapulted past its initial goal of $3.2 billion as we create greater access and opportunity and move the needle on some of the most daunting challenges facing the world today. Our success highlights the vast potential for continued progress, fueled by initiatives that will bring us even closer to realizing Vanderbilt University’s most ambitious vision:

To be the great university of the 21st century.
