Event Announcement
The Homecoming Happy Hour Is Canceled
The Homecoming game now kicks off at 6:00 PM on Saturday, October 17 — the same time as our event — so we're calling off the happy hour rather than compete with the Commodores. Thank you for your excitement and support. The mission continues: please keep our Vanderbilt alumni candidates in mind this November.

Until Next Time
We had hoped to gather after the game for drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and conversation — but with kickoff moved to 6:00 PM, we'll save the toasts for another day. The fellowship doesn't stop here: keep cheering on the Commodores and the Vanderbilt alumni running for office below.

Still Cheer On Alumni on the Ballot
