A Message from Dean Roy

Dear friends,

At Vanderbilt’s School of Engineering, the idea that we dare to grow has guided numerous bold initiatives that we have launched over the past year. Acting with clear purpose, we believe these collaborative research efforts will deliver a positive and lasting impact in addressing grand societal challenges such as environmental sustainability, AI innovation, and security and defense. At the same time, we are increasing our ambitions to become the premier destination in the world for engineering education.

Vanderbilt already stands out as one of the world’s leading research and educational institutions. But as we forge new pathways across disciplines and throughout global, national and local communities, we know that with your continued generous support, we can unlock so much more of our limitless potential.

Gifts of all sizes, from alumni and donors like yourself, support a vital array of priorities like:

  • Scholarships and programming that give all Vanderbilt students, regardless of their socioeconomic circumstances, the chance to succeed at the highest levels
  • Hiring and retaining members of Vanderbilt’s distinctive, world-class faculty, especially in key areas like biomanufacturing, AI, nanoscience and materials engineering
  • Building and maintaining state-of-the-art labs, research facilities and educational spaces

By investing in our faculty and students, you help catalyze innovation, advance science and support a new generation of preeminently talented engineering leaders. I hope you will renew your commitment to the School of Engineering with a gift of any size today.
