Greetings from Owen.Great things are happening at Owen and I hope you’ll celebrate Alumni Weekend with us in

Nashville, April 20–21.

There is a lot of exciting news to report. Cumulative rankings place us in the top 10 percent

of all B-schools in the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. We earned

an “A” from Bloomberg Businessweek for teaching and career service, and with our new

strategic plan to guide us, the future is bright. Yet with all our forward momentum, we also

want to celebrate Owen’s legacy, namely our community and its character, which have both

been shaped by you and your classmates.

Alumni Weekend gives you the chance to spend time with old friends, visit with former professors

or any of our current world-class faculty, or simply amble through Vanderbilt’s beautiful

campus. Most importantly, your presence allows us to thank you in person for your contributions

to Owen. We have many exciting events planned for you and your family, including:

• Kickoff Reception at the University Club

• Alumni Family Picnic

• “Dust off your MBA” educational series—your chance to get back in the classroom

• Owen Circle Celebration Dinner (for Owen Circle members)

• Class-specific events

I sincerely hope you’ll come back and enjoy this wonderful weekend on campus with us.

Warm regards,

Jim Bradford

Dean, Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management

Ralph Owen Professor of Management
