Commons Cup Schedule
Claim the Cup: 2024-25 Schedule of Events
The Commons Cup is a first-year tradition intended to promote social and academic acculturation to Vanderbilt University and integration of each first-year class through house competition and Commons-wide community engagement.
Are you interested in earning a digital badge you can share to LinkedIn? The Commons Cup is now on VandyPASS. To earn a digital badge, you must attend and tap into one (1) event from each of the five categories – academics, athletics, campus engagement, Commons community involvement, and service. Once you attend an event from one of the five categories, you will log into VandyPASS and complete a survey reflection. You MUST complete a survey reflection for each of the five categories – Residential Colleges will cross-reference your attendance and survey completion. After completing the five survey reflections, you will prompted to share your badge on LinkedIn. All survey reflections are due March 23.
