Congratulations to Hannah Blatt (Women's Tennis) and Myron Lewis (Football) for being selected as February's Student Athletes of the Month.
Each athlete was asked about their study habits and one of Lewis' answers really stood out to me. Check it out:
Q: What is your ritual before taking a test?
Lewis: I usually read over my notes before class and listen to a little Barry Manilow!!!
Wow. Is this really true? I didn't even see it coming. So, I've decided that we are using Mr. Manilow as the video of the day.
Yes, it might have been tough to smile if it weren't for Lewis' interception to secure the 'Dores first bowl win since 1955. (I know, that's a stretch, but I had to link the two to get this clip in. Enjoy!)

Student-Athlete Holiday Party
Vanderbilt’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee hosted their annual Holiday Party on Wednesday, December 10th for first-graders from Ross Elementary. In the middle of finishing up the semester and studying for exams, the student-athletes took time out provide a special day for area youth. All the teams were represented, as each team provided gifts for the kids. In addition to the presents, children had the opportunity to play games the chance to interact with Santa Claus, Vanderbilt Football’s own Adam Smotherman.

The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) holds different events like this throughout the year for children in the Nashville community. Comprised of two student-athlete representatives from every sport, SAAC's goal is to connect student-athletes with their campus and community. SAAC is an extension of the CHAMPS/Life Skills program of Vanderbilt Athletics. CHAMPS stands for CHallenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success and is an NCAA supported program.
