I had no desire to walk almost a mile each way to and from class. I also feared that I would always be late for lunch plans. But, the new space is definitely worth it. In addition is new classrooms, the Communications office suite actually houses the entire department. There is also a great auditorium where the department can host speakers, which brings me to the point of this post.

The Community in HOD

Feb. 16, 2014—We all know that Vanderbilt is one of the nation's greatest learning institutions. It's a hub of intellectual development.

A Plug for Biodiversity (and My Major)

Dec. 6, 2013—Dear readers, I have the best major. My introductory/foundational Cognitive Studies class, PSY-PC 1207 Minds, Brains, Contexts, & Cultures, just wrapped up with a final project about effecting social change. In the spirit of my second passion, Communication of Science, I integrated topics from my human biology class (BSci 105) to present the importance of biodiversity...

I GOT INTO MED SCHOOL!

Oct. 16, 2013—I thought that I would never see the day. I actually got into medical school. The University of Florida College of Medicine called me this morning to notify me that I have a place in their class of 2018. I nearly fainted when I heard the news.

Oh, Thank Heaven for Semester Seven!

Sep. 12, 2013—(The title’s a stretch, I know. It’s hard to rhyme with seven.) We’re about 3 and a half weeks into my second-to-last semester here at Vanderbilt, and the fact that I haven’t blogged yet is a pretty good indicator of how busy it has been. That being said, it is so good to be back...

And so, I present to you: Katy Biddle. Hello! I’m Katy Biddle, guest blogging for Jae. A little bit about...
