PHOTOS OF THE WEEK: March Madness and more

Campus life returns after a week away.

By Abby Hoelscher, Deputy Photography Director

Mar 24, 2024

The past week in the life at Vanderbilt included diving back into classes after spring break, great weather in Nashville and a historic victory for the women’s basketball team.

Music City

“Maybe I’m too emotional,” but I would do anything to relive Olivia Rodrigo’s “GUTS” world tour with opener Chappell Roan at Bridgestone from the emergence of spring break.

Sports

The First Four of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship ended in a Vanderbilt Commodores win against Columbia on Wednesday, stirring celebration from victory on the court at Virginia Tech all the way here to Nashville. The Commodores unfortunately lost to Baylor on Friday, ending their March Madness run.
