We are so excited to partner with Tennessee TSC this semester!
Hardin (‘15) has worked with the @countrymusichof since he graduated 8 years ago! Matthew (‘24) has interned at the Hall of Fame since the fall, and Hardin has helped train him. We are so grateful for our alumni and how they inspire our students! #workplacewednesday
We love getting to see the friendships students create in Next Steps. Ben (‘23) and Rodrigo (‘22) are both working at UPS this semester. Rodrigo has been working there for almost two years and trained Ben as he started working there. Work friends are the best! #workplacewednesday

We were delighted to have the first year @NextStepsatVU students visit our middle regional office Monday to learn what DIDD is all about! ✨ The students toured the Enabling Technology home, met executive leadership team members, and toured the seating and positioning clinic.
Some of our SAIL Scholars attended the Tennessee Employment First Task Force’s Expect Employment presentation this morning. Courtnie, Kai, and Ray got to meet @GovBillLee too ✨ Today was a special day of celebrating employment for people of all abilities #thinkemployment
On Monday, the Class of 2026 visited the Career Center to make vision boards! It was such a fun workshop, and we are excited to see our students make their dreams a reality #workplacewednesday
On Monday, our first-years finished their job shadowing rotations. Students have explored 9 different types of on-campus jobs this semester. Thank you so much to our job shadowing sites for showing our students that there are so many different types of jobs! #workplacewednesday
Congratulations to our students about their fall internships! #WorkplaceWednesday instagram.com/reel/CjWNIiUj1…
We love our medical internship partners! Grace (‘24) interns with the Patient & Family Services team, Kai (‘25) is at the Preschool for Children with Autism, Ella (‘25) is at the Mama Lere Hearing School, and Michael (‘25 ) is at the Down Syndrome Clinic. #workplacewednesday

We are so excited that our internships are starting for the year! Here are just a few places where our students will be interning this fall #workplacewednesday
The Class of 2026 had a blast at the first industry tour of the year! We learned about different jobs in the hospitality field, and all our students said they could possibly see themselves working someplace like the Holiday Inn. Thank you @HolidayInnVandy for welcoming us today!
Connor (‘23) has interned with Vanderbilt Football since last fall. Last week, he traveled with the team to Honolulu, Hawaii for the first game and helped the Dores bring in the first win of the season! #workplacewednesday instagram.com/p/Ch8FykqO_3S/…
Welcome back to campus, Commodores! We had a wonderful first day back, including a welcome lunch with our students and staff. We are so grateful to have our students back on campus! instagram.com/reel/ChqFEbgDg…
Welcome to Vanderbilt, Class of 2026! We are so glad you are here and cannot wait to see how you learn and grow over the next four years. Our students have been busy with orientation activities this week, and we are excited for classes to start tomorrow. Anchor down! ⚓️✨

Today, we’re rolling out Twitter Blue for Business, a new program that lets businesses distinguish their brands and key employees on Twitter. These accounts will show a square company badge next to their display names.
We were delighted to have the first year @NextStepsatVU students visit our middle regional office Monday to learn what DIDD is all about! ✨ The students toured the Enabling Technology home, met executive leadership team members, and toured the seating and positioning clinic.
SAIL scholars with @NextStepsatVU are speaking to local leaders in a variety of fields to learn about their jobs and ask questions. Thanks for including DIDD!
Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.
