More on Professor Van Schaack
Apr. 11, 2011—Morgan Weisman, my fellow blogger and sorority sister, is right. Academics at Vanderbilt are not always a piece of cake, but there are those professors that make paying $50,000 on a tuition bill worthwhile. Professor Andy Van Schaack is one of those. I realize Morgan elaborated quite a bit on him, but enough can’t be...
Spring Football

Are You Ready for Some Football?

I, of course, have no recollection of this, and I soon fell in love with swimming. I started swimming competitively at age six, and continued to throughout...
“Spirit-Fingers”
Jan. 20, 2011—Yesterday evening, the Vanderbilt Athletic Department and Vandy Fanatics held their biggest event of the year, Memorial Madness, an annual basketball pep rally that ushers in the start of the SEC season.
