“Sarah is the heart and soul of our School,” said Colleen Conway-Welch, Ph.D., C.N.M., dean of VUSN. “She is one of the first people our students meet when they start their classes and one of the last people to whom they say goodbye at graduation. Through their time here and beyond, she serves as advocate, confidant and adviser.”
Ramsey is the point person for more than 700 nursing students at any given time and oversees the school's milestone events, such as orientation, three separate pinning ceremonies and graduation.
She also serves as the primary referral source for students who need personal or academic counseling.
Other than a two-year stint at a Nashville securities brokerage firm, Ramsey's career and education have been focused at Vanderbilt.
She started her career in Development and served as an undergraduate admissions counselor for three years.
She earned both her Master's in Education degree in Higher Education Administration and her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Vanderbilt University.
