Q&A with Nicholas Zeppos, Chancellor Emeritus at Vanderbilt University

In a new Quarterly Q&A, we interview one of the MCI Presidents’ Council members, Nicholas S. Zeppos, JD who made student mental health one of his key priorities at Vanderbilt University. Compelled by strong empathy towards the mental health struggles of his college students, Zeppos vowed to build Vanderbilt better – as a more supportive and compassionate university. How he went about these cultural and systemic changes within a high-achieving environment is instructive for other leaders who prioritize student flourishing.
