Note from the Dean
It is hard to believe that today is the last day of spring courses! I am so grateful for the enormous efforts by faculty and staff to complete the mod remotely. This certainly has been a challenging spring, but team Owen has met the challenge. To see how we did it, watch this short video to see first-hand Owen’s move to remote teaching. Much has changed over the past weeks, including changes in how we work and interact as a community. But our mission has not changed — providing world-class business education at a personal scale. I am grateful for the tremendous work of our faculty and staff to maintain our educational mission during this trying time.
Best,
Eric
