Celebrating 10 Years of Brotherhood

It really means something special to be a Vandal. There’s a long line of proud Vandals (Nana Akuoko Sarpong, Dr Kuranchie, KEK, Sappee, etc) who recognize that the Vandal City helped them became successful – and they want to make sure that environment of success exists for future Vandals. By staying connected with an OVA membership, you become an important part of that proud tradition.
The Old Vandals Association (OVA) brings together alumni of Commonwealth Hall to preserve the proud
Vandal tradition, support our alma mater, and create opportunities for current and future Vandals.
A lifelong network of proud
Vandals supporting one another.
Continuing the tradition built
by generations of Vandals.
