Scott Nashville Emerging Leader Bio

Dr. Carjamin Scott is the Associate Director of Admissions Operations at the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University, where she automates manual processes for about 10 marketing and admissions managers.  Elected by her colleagues, she is a member of the Vanderbilt University Staff Advisory Council serving as Communications Co-Chair.  Although she leads at Vanderbilt with grace and agility, her impact is not limited to her employer.

She is a volunteer for a number of professional organizations that encourage literacy, equity, and education access and serves as a Board Member for The Carnegie Writers, Inc., an Operations Coordinator for The Equity Alliance, and a Mentor for TN Achieves.

Her blog www.carjiescott.com, presents information about attending college for free, interviews of people doing great things, books she’s reading and meetings to discuss, invitations to write with her, and life improvement conferences. Her ebook “Attend College for Free in Tennessee,” has been downloaded hundreds of times and she has personally consulted Nashville residents on how to offset the costs associated with attending college in Tennessee.
