Today was Vanderbilt’s Commencement Day. Traffic downtown was snarled way beyond typical rush hour. Vanderbilt’s campus is a huge part of uptown Nashville. It includes the colleges, dormitories, frat houses, the athletic fields and stadium, and both the regular hospital and the new children’s hospital.

Vanderbilt’s hospital is known for being a teaching hospital, with clinics for a variety of rare diseases. Their trauma unit is top notch – they have two helicopters for Lifeflight rescues and an unmatched emergency room.

Vandy deserves their excellent Ivy League reputation. Congratulations to this year’s graduating students!
