Brown Bag Lecture Series
Feb. 1, 2012—The Women’s and Gender Studies Department hosts a lecture series called the Brown Bag Lecture Series that features talks from representatives of multiple organizations around campus. The one that I attended featured T.J. Jourian, the Program Coordinator of the Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex Life at Vanderbilt University. I always enjoy these...
Applying for VUcept
Jan. 30, 2012—So this year I have decided to apply for a position as a VUcept leader! Who knows, I might get my own group of little freshmen next year to guide through orientation and their first semester!
Aix-en-Vacances
Jan. 28, 2012—For those of you who haven’t seen my other blogs, I am currently studying abroad in Southern France in a city called Aix-en-Provence. However, sometimes students like to joke around…even some of the host families tell us to remember that while our studies are important, it is also essential to recognize that we are on...
My Shout-out (or How to be an Inside ‘Dore)
Jan. 25, 2012—Applications for first-year students to be Inside Dores bloggers are due today at 4:00 pm! I have few illusions that this article will be of assistance to applicants at such a late hour (if I even finish this before the deadline), but I decided this was a good occasion to write about being an undergraduate...
Dore for A Day
Jan. 24, 2012—Today, I missed the first half of the Vandy vs. University of Tennessee basketball game. Shame on me, I know, but no fear, I was there for the second half and stayed to sing the alma mater with my team after their dominating win. (In case you missed it, the final score was 65-47 and...
The Engineering Overlap
Jan. 24, 2012—I'm not sure if I've at all mentioned that I'm a Mechanical Engineering and Math double major. Now, then. The price of these two excellent majors is that every semester feels the same: engineering and math until I've actually forgotten how to speak English coherently (this blog is my only outlet for such language).
Sophomore Slam-Dunk Tailgate
Jan. 19, 2012—I just got back from watching the Commodores dominate the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Admiral’s Club at Memorial Gym. The Admirals Club is a state-of-the-art lounge with TVs, trophies and an awesome view of the court. You may be asking yourself how I was able to get to such an exclusive room. Well, Vanderbilt’s...
The Package Line
Jan. 17, 2012—Coming back from winter break is different from starting a new school year in several big, important ways. There are fewer new students (just a handful of transfers), and it’s only been about three weeks since the last time you lived in your dorm room (which you don’t have to move into). However, there’s another way in which...
DORES dominate in SEC play (and the Magic of Memorial)
Jan. 16, 2012—This Saturday, the Commodores men’s basketball team improved their record to 13-4 with their win against the Georgia Bulldogs. They also remained undefeated in conference play, with a record of 3-0!
First Week of Class!
Jan. 12, 2012—The first week of classes, also known as “syllabus week”, is the week where everyone tries to figure out their schedule, and I am often known to go to as many as six classes in a day to try and figure out which ones I like!
