Commodore Launches are a decades-long tradition focused on 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!
We are busy planning our 2024 Commodore Launch parties, and will continue to add additional parties and details in the coming months. Registration will open in early June.
