How a student-led initiative with a presence outside of Rand is sparking conversations about the true state of campus diversity BY SAARA ASIKAINEN News reporter --------------------

A student movement that emerged at the end of March, Hidden Dores presently seeks to provoke productive discussion about the minority experience at Vanderbilt. The movement’s goals include addressing issues around race and diversity at the administrative, academic and student life levels.
