Dean's Corner

Owen Community,

I am excited to share that the Hoogland Undergraduate Business Program (Vanderbilt's business minor) will fall under the leadership of the Owen School at the beginning of next academic year. Here is the official announcement from MyVU.

We are eager to become more deeply involved in the undergraduate educational experience, helping these students develop more comprehensive business expertise and thrive in their chosen career paths. This pivotal shift will allow us to explore new areas of business education, lead to new collaborations across campus, and elevate our reputation. I look forward to seeing what we create together in the years ahead.

Best wishes,

Tom

10/31: Meet & Treat Event on Halloween
The Owen Marketing and Communications Team would like to invite all faculty and staff to our Meet and Treat event on Tuesday, October 31.

This will be a drop-in event (or stay awhile) between 9:00-11:00AM in the Suite 328 kitchen and open office area. We will have Halloween treats, donuts, hot chocolate, etc., and you can trick or treat at each of our cubicles to get a taste of our favorite treats for Halloween.

Additionally, we will have guessing jars! You know, the jars with candy corn or M&M's in them, and you have to guess how many pieces of candy are in them? The person whose guess is closest to the actual amount in the jar will receive a gift box from MarComm with Vanderbilt Business swag (hat, pen, and tumbler) and you will get to take the jar home with your correctly guessed treat!

We hope you will stop by and celebrate Halloween with us!
