See the Vanderbilt Explorations page and the Vanderbilt Research News page for features on how our diversity efforts mesh with our astronomical research programs. This article from Inside Higher Ed also describes the success of the Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-PhD Bridge Program. This article from Nature describes our use of "grit" measures to identify the most promising students, and this article in Nature discusses how misuse of GRE scores in graduate admissions leaves behind many talented women and minorities.
