VPB: Speakers Committee
Jan. 29, 2016—There are literally hundreds of student organizations on campus, and one of the biggest ones is the Vanderbilt Programming Board or VPB (Vandy loves its acronyms). VPB is an umbrella organization of smaller committees such as Homecoming, Speakers Committee, CityVU, The Music Group, The VenUe, and Vandy Fanatics. This past week, I attended a Speakers...

Wonderful Whirlwind Weekend (Part 1)
Feb. 14, 2015—The semester is flying by and these past few weeks have been jam-packed. Last weekend was especially crazy as I got the chance to experience the best 48 hours of my life so far at Vanderbilt!
One Less Problem (With the Quake Lineup)
Jul. 9, 2014—I don’t know about you guys, but where I went to high school, homecoming was a lot of the things — stressful, overblown, anxiety-inducing — a lot of things, but usually not very fun. There was a football game no one cared about, a dance we cared about WAY too much, and weeks worth of...
Rites done Right (Round 2)
Apr. 26, 2014—It’s been said that with great power comes great responsibility, and this year that was just as applicable to Tobey Maguire as it was to me working my second year at Vanderbilt’s annual Rites of Spring Music Festival. As a part of the Music Group, I spend the whole year planning and looking forward to...

Rites of Spring + SPEAR
Apr. 14, 2014—I’d like to extol a particular student organization active on Vanderbilt’s campus, Students Promoting Environmental Awareness and Responsibility––SPEAR for short. Since last semester, I have been one of those flighty, practically invisible club members who signs up for the listserv, attends two meetings total, and then goes to various and sundry events as she pleases,...
‘s No Place Like Nashville
Apr. 14, 2014—As if you need more incentive to come visit Vanderbilt and Nashville, here it is. A run-down of my last four days that have made me fall even more in love with Nashville.
Campus Events!
Feb. 16, 2014—When I was a freshman, I loved going to the events that Vanderbilt sponsored. As an upperclassman, I have less time to go to these because I'm busier, working, and have greater access to off campus events. That means that I enjoy them all the more, though! Last weekend, I got to go to two such events--Casino night sponsored by the Vanderbilt Programming Board, and movie of the month from the Student Government...
Winter is Coming!
Nov. 10, 2013—This popular slogan often associated with Game of Thrones was turned into the title of an awesome VPB event that took place this past Friday night! The event was hosted by VenUe, which is the late-night alternative program committee. They converted the Student Life Center into a winter carnival.
