Graduate Council
The purpose of the Graduate Council is to serve as a liaison between
graduate and professional students, faculty and administration in the Vanderbilt University School
of Nursing and the general university community. The Council provides a framework for
vocalization of graduate and Pre-Specialty students’ needs, serves as representatives for graduate
and Pre-Specialty students, procures representatives to delegated VUSN and University
committees, and promotes social interaction within and outside VUSN.
The membership of the Council is composed of voting student representatives currently enrolled at
VUSN. The representation will be composed of 10 members and 2 alternates from the Pre-
Specialty year (9 Pre-Specialty and 1 Pre-Specialty RN), and 10 members and 2 alternates from the
graduate year. The Graduate Council solicits members through a self-nomination process.
Interested students are encouraged to complete a self-nomination form, which is given to all new students at Orientation. Graduate-year representatives must have completed all Pre-Specialty courses prior to election. Each representative serves a one-year term (September – August). If representatives are absent from more than two Council meetings without legitimate and/or unforeseen cause, they will be removed from the Council.
