Dr. Andrew Van Schaack, a professor at Vanderbilt University with appointments in the Peabody College of Education and the School of Engineering, served as the guest speaker for the Class of 2024 USN Cum Laude Society induction ceremony.
As part of a longstanding tradition, retired teachers and professionals from USN over the years came together to celebrate, connect, and reminisce during their annual luncheon in Durnan Auditorium.
It is common to have five or more University School of Nashville student-athletes sign college athletic commitment letters each year, and this year, USN saw eight more student-athletes commit to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level.
