Vanderbilt will celebrate the selection of Nicholas S. Zeppos as the university’s eighth chancellor during a special open house Monday, March 10, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Student Life Center.

This will be the first opportunity for Zeppos in his new role to greet the Vanderbilt community, much of which was on spring break when the Board of Trust chose him March 1 as the university’s new leader at the conclusion of its winter meeting.

Board of Trust Chairman Martha Ingram, student leaders and others are also expected to make brief remarks, during the event, which will feature food, music and other party fare.

Students, faculty and staff as well as members of the Nashville community, alumni and other friends of the university will join in the festivities.

Live video of the event will stream on the Vanderbilt home page, www.vanderbilt.edu/, starting at 11:30 a.m.
