Last night at VSA all of the students engaged in a camp-wide scavenger hunt in their proctor groups. I heard a number of them chatting about how much fun they all had. The hunt took them to an assortment of Vanderbilt places including the mound on the baseball stadium and alumni lawn.
On a different note, as part of the Food for Thought lecture series, four representatives from Vanderbilt's admissions office, including Director of Admissions John Gaines, will conduct a mock admissions discussion. It will begin with an introduction and overview of selective admissions, continue with students gathering in mock admissions committees to evaluate applications, and conclude with each group presenting their decisions. This is an outstanding opportunity for VSA students to acquaint themselves with the college admissions process. Parents, please encourage your students to sign up for this event!
Tonight, students will have a number of options for their evening activity including watching a movie on one of the big screens on campus, take a trip with a proctor to Borders or Starbucks, and even take a cooking class! Check back for more updates tomorrow!
