‘on campus events’
Just another fall weekend
Sep. 17, 2012—This weekend, I stuck around campus and just enjoyed the beautiful weather and this great campus. I finally feel like I am settled in and out of summer-mode. On Friday night, I went to Hillel for Shabbat dinner. Most of my close friends here are not Jewish, so when they all decided to go to...
Blair Concert the First
Sep. 17, 2012—I'm not good at estimating, so I'll safely guess between 30 and 8,000 people showed up for Blair's first concert. But actually, Ingram was absolutely packed. Not even when Audra McDonald or the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet came was there an audience such as this. Apparently, people even had to listen to and watch the concert from the lobby telly, it was so full! Success! People finally realizing and taking advantage of the free Blair concerts!
What a Great Weekend
Sep. 3, 2012—I just had such an amazing weekend. There was so much going on, both on and off campus. I tried to partake in as much as possible.
First Football Game
Sep. 1, 2012—Last night, the Commodores kicked off their 2012 football season. Actually, they kicked off the entire SEC season, welcoming the University of South Carolina Gamecocks to the brand new stadium.
Spotlight and VPB Palooza
Aug. 25, 2012—My first Friday night back at school was full of school-sponsored activities. First, my friend and I went to Hillel for the Welcome Back Shabbat Dinner. Then, we went to Spotlight, where we met up with the rest of our friends. The night ended with VPB Palooza.

It is going to take place on Friday August 24th outside of the Commons Center from 3-6pm. Each year, over 100 of Vanderbilt’s student organizations set up booths to show the incoming freshmen and transfer...
First Tour of the Year!
Aug. 21, 2012—Being a junior means that I am also a “veteran guide” which sounds awesome and lets me begin giving tours as soon as I get back on campus, which is what I did today!
A Whole New World
Aug. 12, 2012—What to expect on Move-In Day! Less then a week! I'm bouncing off the walls with excitement for (or with!) you!
Vandy Chills
Aug. 8, 2012—Want another reason Vanderbilt is awesome? Today, they had their annual “Vandy Chills” day where they serve free ice cream to Vandy employees.
A Day in the Life: Stubbs Lab
Jul. 12, 2012—I’ve blogged in the past about my undergraduate research in a structural biology lab at Vanderbilt and how this summer I’m working full-time as a part of a summer research program called VUSRP, but I’ve never really gotten into the nitty gritty of what I do in lab. Welcome to a day in the life...
