Note from the Dean
Yes, that is the Owen School! While our students are busy with internships this summer, the building is far from quiet. As soon as the students left in May, the construction crews turned up the volume, literally peeling the brick from the walls and opening the 21st Ave side of the building. All of this will give way to the expansion and renovation of Management Hall—opening in the summer of 2022. You can watch the live action on our 24-hour webcam.
Best,
Eric

Stay Connected
Have you stayed connected with your classmates and invested in your network? One of the themes we heard from many executive speakers visiting Owen this year was the important role other people played in their career success. Read Dean Johnson’s recent blog post with advice from Stephanie Gallo (CMO E. & J. Gallo Winery) and Larry Quinlan (Global CIO of Deloitte).
