Summer Send-Off Parties

A Vanderbilt Tradition

Since 1968, incoming first-year students have been treated to Summer Send-Off Parties. These festive gatherings are sponsored by the Vanderbilt Alumni Association and its chapters across the country.

Summer Send-Off Parties bring alumni, current students, and incoming students and their families together in a casual setting in their hometowns to celebrate the university’s newest arrivals and send them off to Vanderbilt in style. Past, current and future Vanderbilt students are given an opportunity to connect with each other and experience the “Vanderbilt community” together firsthand.
