Anchored for Her is a new campaign grounded in Vanderbilt’s conviction that women’s athletics are a powerful platform for leadership, excellence and opportunity. It builds on a moment of momentum across Vanderbilt Athletics. Anchored for Her’s $50 million goal will fuel investment in sustainable success for a new era of collegiate athletics. Ahead of next year’s 50th anniversary of its varsity women’s sports programs, Vanderbilt is asking the broader university community to help support the excellence that’s already energizing campus, from soccer’s recent Elite Eight run to volleyball’s return on Wyatt Lawn to basketball’s galvanizing season and more.
