PHOTOS OF THE WEEK: Finding silver linings

Even among losses on the court, students found joy in capturing their adventures on camera.

February 11, 2024

Another week in the Vanderbilt life consisted of trying new things and advocating for our ideas.

Out and about

Photography staffers explored everywhere from the Commons “study break” events to Nashville neighborhoods off campus this week.

Sports

Memorial Magic continued, although all three basketball games on campus this week were fumbled by the Commodores to Alabama, Kentucky and LSU.

Editor’s picks

Rain or shine, campus remained active as always this week.
