Dear Commodores,

Welcome to the home page of the Vanderbilt Alumni Association's Chicago Chapter! Our goal is to strengthen our ties to one another and to the university, and to continue the tradition of lifelong learning that was instilled in us as Vanderbilt students.

In the Chicago Chapter, Vanderbilt alumni have opportunities that cover many interests and all ages. We have a variety of events including educational/cultural, career development/networking, athletic, community service and social events, and we take full advantage of everything the great city of Chicago has to offer. The Chicago alumni also compete together on sports teams and gather often during the school year to watch the Commodores compete in football and basketball at our home bar, Sedgwick's.

So, whether you are a new alumnus/a or someone who graduated decades ago, consider this site your Vanderbilt alumni headquarters. Also, to receive emails from the Chicago Chapter, please remember to update your contact information through VUconnect at http://vuconnect.com/.

In the meantime, join us on Facebook and start putting our networking opportunities to work for you.

We are looking forward to seeing you at an upcoming event soon! Go 'Dores!

Kasey Folk, BA'02
Keith Ikard, MBA'03
Chicago Chapter co-presidents
