PHOTOS OF THE WEEK: February in flight

Campus-wide events, concerts downtown and other activities are in full swing this week.

As the month of February flies by, Vanderbilt students take a moment to appreciate the opportunities around them.

Anchorthon’s Dance Marathon

What do tote bag printing, teddy bear building, trivia and Taco Mama all have in common? They were all present this weekend at Anchorthon’s Dance Marathon fundraiser event for Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.

Music City

Concert season is on a steady return as the weather turns warmer — Hustler staffers covered Chance Peña, Lyn Lapid, Knox and Band of Horses this month.

Students stayed active on campus, as this week started with snow and ended with sunshine.
