The final few weeks before Thanksgiving break have been about two things — capturing the beautiful fall colors on campus and pushing through the craze of classes.

Our unofficial mascot

“Those Darn Squirrels” are at it again — we spotted these furry friends everywhere from Kissam to Commons on campus this week.

Sports

Vanderbilt alumni and current students alike gathered at FirstBank Stadium to cheer on the Commodores against Auburn on Nov. 4 to celebrate our last home football game.
