Our hearts go out today to the UNC-Chapel Hill community. In response to violence in our own Nashville community, we recorded Vanderbilt experts discussing tools for collective healing. We hope this offers comfort and useful tools: youtube.com/watch?v=1Uiy9unU…

More @VandyUnity poll findings - check them out!
Vanderbilt Unity Poll findings: When asked to reflect on America’s 250-year history, about half of those polled (52 percent) remain confident that the country can overcome today’s challenges. This is down from 57 percent in March.

Recent Vandy Unity Poll shows more consensus on contentious issues than social media and pundit class may indicate - hope you can spare a second
Vanderbilt Unity Poll: Respondents indicated common ground on gun control to prevent school shootings, with 81 percent supporting “red flag” laws, 72 percent supporting gun safe laws and 62 percent supporting bans on assault-style weapons.

Some interesting numbers which merit a second if you have it
Vanderbilt Unity Poll: 62% of poll respondents believe Americans are incapable of uniting to solve important problems, yet 79% want their elected officials to work with members of the opposing party—even if that meant compromising on some partisan values.
