A Message from the Dean

Owen Community, 

Celebrating our 150th anniversary, Vanderbilt University aspires to new heights through the Dare to Grow campaign. The celebrations in Nashville, New York, Houston, and Miami have drawn our exceptionally talented alumni bases together, and it has been a pleasure to meet so many accomplished people who want to give back.  

It's also wonderful to see the university highlighting Vanderbilt Business in the campaign materials. You’ll enjoy this video, featuring many familiar faces, including Professors Kelly Goldsmith, Jen Riley, Tim Vogus, Cherrie Wilkerson, and Ed Wilkins in the classroom with our students earlier this academic year.  

Thanks to all for making Owen a warm and engaging community.   

Best wishes, 

Tom
