Holocaust Lecture Series

The Holocaust Lecture Series (HLS) was established by the University Chaplain, the Rev. Beverly A. Asbury, in 1977 and has become the longest continuous lecture series on the Holocaust at an American university. Dedicated to reflection on ourselves and our society in the wake of the Holocaust, HLS has brought notable scholars, survivors and liberators, and artistic examinations of the Holocaust to Vanderbilt’s campus for over 40 years. 

Interfaith Fair

This annual event takes place in partnership with the Vanderbilt Interfaith Council and is open to the Vanderbilt community. This event offers an opportunity to learn more about the different spiritual and religious groups represented on campus. 

Interfaith Feast Day

This annual event offers the Vanderbilt community an opportunity to commune with those from different worldviews and perspectives, share a meal, and engage in community.

Iron Men's Group

This monthly program provides a space for Vanderbilt community members to connect, support one another, and engage in honest conversations about life’s challenges. While the discussions highlight experiences of those who identify as men — including those who identify as nonbinary, transgender, and masculine presenting — all are welcome to join, listen, and participate.
