Note from the Dean
Summer is a time for travel – last week, we held a NYC closing bell to bring alumni together and introduce our summer interns to the NYC network. Thank you to Eric Van Heyst for hosting a wonderful event and to Emily Dunn for all you did to make it a great success. 
The MBA ‘19’s are making an impact at over 100 firms around the U.S.; learn more about them in this article.
Best,
Eric

Attention, full-time MBA alumni from the classes of 2010, 2011, 2012: Bloomberg Businessweek alumni survey for rankings is live
The full-time MBA classes of 2010, 2011 and 2012 are invited to participate in a survey that helps determine rankings for Bloomberg Businessweek. Currently, we need 62 additional responses to complete the Vanderbilt Business survey. Bloomberg Businessweek requires 109 to include Vanderbilt in its rankings. If you filled out this survey in prior years, we invite you to do so again -- the survey has changed, and views can change. Bloomberg Businessweek wants to be as up-to-date and accurate as possible. Take the survey here.
