Diwali!
Nov. 7, 2011—Every year, Masala-SACE (South Asian Cultural Exchange) hosts a show called Diwali.

Vanderbilt Wins
Nov. 6, 2011—I am finally back in Vandyland after an amazing weekend in Gainesville.

A Heartbreaking Loss
Oct. 29, 2011—Today was a sad day for Vanderbilt football. We lost to No. 10 Arkansas by a score of 28-31. Despite the score, I’d say that we have a lot to be proud of.

Farm to Fork!

Free Pizza for Everyone!
Sep. 23, 2011—I am currently sitting on a couch outside of Rand anxiously awaiting free pizza. At 12 noon, CityVU is hosting the Nashville Pizza Challenge. This event, held once a year, is a chance for Vanderbilt students to decide which pizza is the best in Nashville.
Billy Collins at Vanderbilt

This awesome opportunity was part of an event called Dinner and a Draft, which is put on by The Writing Studio and open to all students, particularly first years. I was excited that as a sophomore I still got the...
