Previously known as Summer Send-off, the Commodore Launch event is a fresh take on a decades-long tradition of welcoming incoming students and parents to the Vanderbilt community. Join fellow students, parents and alumni as we welcome our newest Commodores and launch their Vanderbilt experience!
Parties will be held throughout the summer across the country. Additional parties may be added throughout the summer,
so be sure to check back frequently.
