“Chancellor Zeppos led and guided Vanderbilt into the university it is today—one of the most respected research universities in the world and a model for higher education in the 21st century. I am inspired by his example and thrilled to honor his legacy with this portrait.”.
In his 11 years as Vanderbilt University’s eighth chancellor, Nicholas S. Zeppos left an indelible mark on the campus. In commemoration of that legacy, his official portrait now hangs in the entry of Zeppos College.
