The Write Way
Mar. 27, 2015—My personal experiences with college writing (and why you should go to the Writing Studio).
Thank you, Dean Wcislo!
Mar. 27, 2015—Vanderbilt gives its students so many opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. While the most obvious ones are academics and extra-curricular activities, Vandy also offers you the chance to develop deep and meaningful relationships with your professors. VUcept, which pairs first-years with a faculty VUceptor, is another great away of getting to know your...
Urban Gardening at Vanderbilt
Jan. 20, 2015—When it comes to taking action on environmental issues, urban areas are ripe for reform. That means building mixed-use properties that allow people to work and shop within walking distance of their homes, expanding public transportation systems, making cities more friendly to pedestrians and bikes, and developing sustainable food systems with farmers’ markets and urban gardens.
A Return to Ferguson
Dec. 20, 2014—"I was drawn to do things that were romantic but could also have a rationale to them," Hayden says. "Romantic in the sense that I think it is noble to stand up against an evil, and that we don't get many opportunities in the normal course of life to do anything that's noble at all. But without a purpose or plan or strategy, it would be self-serving or foolish." He pauses, reflects. "To what extent it was a rationalization as opposed to rational is another question. It was probably sometimes a rationalization." - Tom Hayden, anti-war activist

My “First Love” at Vandy
Dec. 17, 2014—A class on a subject I never really developed a penchant for. On a topic I was always curious about. With the kind of professor you can go share your life's problems with. Talk about explore. This is why you do it. This is why they tell you to try out different classes in college, particularly at Vanderbilt. Because at such an awesome place, more often than not, you are likely to come across a great class. Like I stumbled onto my "first love" at Vandy - English 102W with Professor William Reid Douglass.
Only at Vanderbilt: A Class Full of Tap-Dancing, Fashion, and Symbiosis
Dec. 11, 2014—Okay, shameless plug: take The Art of Blogging with Professor Little before you graduate, and I promise you'll thank me later.
School is Cool. Like, Actually.
Dec. 6, 2014—So I just finished my last class of the semester. I am not an emotional person, but I swear to you, the last meetings of some of my classes made me irrationally sad. Maybe I’m really invested in my classes, or maybe I’m just a nerd, but regardless, I just need to take a moment...
Blurring the Color Lines
Nov. 10, 2014—Do you prefer to date within or outside of your race––or do you care at all? Why? These were the questions posed to panelists at this evening’s event, “Blurring the Color Lines,” presented by NAACP and co-sponsored by the Caribbean Student Association and the Department of African-American & Diaspora Studies at Vanderbilt. I wanted to...
