Jam the Gym, Diversity and Inclusion events set for next weekend

Jan. 21, 2017

The Vanderbilt men’s and women’s basketball teams have several special events planned for next weekend, Jan. 28-29. The two teams will host a Diversity and Inclusion event throughout the weekend, and the women’s game against Florida on Sunday will also be the annual Jam the Gym game. 

Diversity and Inclusion: The Vanderbilt men’s and women’s basketball teams are recognizing “Diversity and Inclusion” on the Vanderbilt campus.

The event celebrates diversity by inviting and highlighting organizations — both on campus and throughout the Commodore community — to participate in an educational fair during which students and fans can learn about the various groups and organizations. 

For more information on the fair, including table reservations, please contact Stephen Curitore via email at stephen.p.curitore@vanderbilt.edu.

Jam the Gym: The Vanderbilt women’s game against Florida on Sunday, Jan. 29, at Memorial Gym will be the Commodores’ annual Jam the Gym game. All tickets for the contest are just $1. Hot dogs and drinks will also be sold for $1.

Fans who can’t make the game can help grow a new generation of Commodore Nation by purchasing tickets that will be donated in their name to local Nashville non-profit groups. 

The day will include a Kids Zone — featuring inflatables, a poster-making station and a face-painting station — in the practice gym before the game.
