What is your favorite Vanderbilt tradition?
Reunion Weekend has always been one of my favorite Vanderbilt traditions. It has a special meaning now that I am a Vanderbilt alumnus, but it was a fun weekend all four years of my undergraduate career, too. There are special concerts, free t-shirts, reunion tailgates, and thousands of alumni visiting their old stomping grounds, so there is something going on the entire weekend. Go 'Dores!
