To Davis Grier "Deeg" Sezna Jr., BA'01

As we mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, members of Vanderbilt’s Class of 2001 are coming together to remember their classmate and friend, Davis Grier “Deeg” Sezna Jr., BA’01, alongside the other Vanderbilt classmates and community members whose lives were lost that day.
 
Humble, hardworking and always ready with a joke, Deeg was a loyal friend who embodied the very best of Vanderbilt. He was the kind of person who made an impression and the kind of friend you never forget. In his honor, classmates are leading an effort to name a space for Deeg on Vanderbilt’s New York City campus, creating a lasting tribute to his life and a meaningful connection between the Vanderbilt community he loved and the city where his life was tragically cut short.
 
Twenty-five years later, the friendships Deeg formed at Vanderbilt endure, as does the impact he had on those who knew him. As we remember Deeg and all members of the Vanderbilt community whose lives were lost on September 11, classmates, alumni, friends and family are invited to come together in his memory and help create a lasting tribute to a life and friendship that continue to mean so much.
