In December, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch and senior officials visited Vanderbilt’s Warren Center for Neuroscience Drug Discovery to learn more about how cutting-edge research is combatting the opioid crisis. Coordinated by Vanderbilt’s State Government Relations team, the meeting focused on how the center’s innovative work in drug discovery and addiction neuroscience could support the TBI’s efforts to reduce opioid misuse and improve public safety across the state. https://lnkd.in/grKkqAkC

Vanderbilt Peabody College is now offering a partial-tuition scholarship for public school educators in Davidson and surrounding Tennessee counties. Teachers and other education professionals in the Nashville metropolitan area who work full-time, are in good standing in public school districts, and are admitted to selected Peabody master's degree programs will receive a partial tuition scholarship through the Nashville Metropolitan Area K-12 Public School Scholarship. “The scholarship reduces financial barriers and opens new pathways for continued learning and discovery among area educators. Earning a master’s degree can put professional advancement within reach, and we want to help make that possible,” said Catherine Gavin Loss, senior associate dean for academic affairs and professional education at Peabody. The priority admissions application deadline is January 3, 2025, for students planning to enroll in 2025-2026. Accepted applicants will automatically be eligible for the new scholarship after providing proof of employment. Learn more👇
