We have sad news to report about the original Rand Cookie, the myth, the legend. The facility that produces the dough is closing. After exhausting all options, Campus Dining is sad to share that the Vanderbilt community has to say goodbye to the Rand Cookie as it currently exists. Rather than a single goodbye, we’re dedicating all next week to the original Rand Cookie. The final batch will be served March 2–6. This is your chance to savor it, take a photo with it, share it with a friend, and properly honor the original Rand Cookie before the campus community is invited to vote on the next Rand Cookie on March 17.

The No. 5/5-ranked Vanderbilt women’s basketball team capped off the 2025-26 regular season home slate by setting a pair of school records in an 85-60 win over No. 24/23 Alabama on Thursday night. The victory over the Crimson Tide marks Vandy’s 12th SEC victory of the 2025-26 campaign to establish a new program record for most conference wins in a season.
