Vanderbilt’s West Palm Beach Campus Moves Forward With Backing From Billionaire Ross

Vanderbilt University is moving forward with a new campus in West Palm Beach for about 1,000 students, after raising enough of its initial $300 million fundraising goal, according to Chancellor Daniel Diermeier.

The West Palm Beach campus, which will focus on finance, engineering and technology for graduate students, is now seeking to raise another $250 million in its second fundraising stage. Real estate billionaire Stephen Ross was a significant financial backer.
