Connor Jackson
Academics & Experiences Chair
Hello! I grew up in the great state of New Hampshire where I developed an affinity for seafood, an abiding fandom of New England sports, and a love of skiing. Following high school I attended college at Carleton College, in Minnesota. While there I learned the value of thick wool socks and stoked my curiosities toward questions of justice and educational equity as well as organizational identification and cohesion, all under the guise of a political science degree.
Following college, I spent two years working with high school students at a college access organization. After two years, I found my way back to Minnesota and to Carleton, this time working in the Admissions Office. This job broadened my understanding of higher and secondary education systems, as well as appreciation for college application essays with deft touches of humor.
I am currently pursuing my M.Ed in Leadership and Organizational Performance and serving as the Academics & Experiences Board Chair. The TFC has been an integral part of my Vanderbilt experience thus far, and I look forward to creating opportunities for connection, learning, and community in the coming months.
I’m a runner, reader, burgeoning cook, and novice pickleballer. Send me an email and let’s connect!
