Mission
The purpose of the Graduate Nursing Council is to serve as a liaison between students (MN, MSN, Post Master’s Certificate and DNP students), faculty, administration and the greater Vanderbilt University community. The Graduate Council achieves this purpose by providing a framework for vocalization of graduate students’ needs, serving as representatives to VUSN and University committees, and promoting social interaction within and outside of VUSN.
Membership
The Graduate Council solicits members through a self-nomination process. Interested students are encouraged to complete the self-nomination form. Any interested student is invited to become a member of the Graduate Council. Members will serve from September through August. Council members must be full-time students in good academic standing. Graduate Council membership generally consists of members from the Master of Nursing, MSN, DNP and PhD student groups.
