Visiting Owen
If you’re viewing this webpage right now, there’s a better than zero chance you came across it while researching Owen as a potential landing spot for your graduate education. While we like to think of this site as a nice little resource, nestled away in the hinterlands of the Internet, we understand our inherent limitations. When we’re not combing through the finer points of Excel or interviewing local beer brewers, we try to shed some light on student life. We like to cover our day-to-day routines both in the halls of Owen and in the greater Nashville area to supplement the marketing resources officially provided by the school. In essence, we want you to get a feel for the place.
But let’s be honest. If you’re thinking about attending a business school in near future, more than likely that entails leaving your current place of employment, foregoing that potential income in addition to taking on some degree of debt, and uprooting to a new city (and in some cases, dragging loved ones along with you). It is one of the most serious commitments you’ll ever make, and while we try to be informative, it can never be enough. To get a sense of Owen, you really need to visit.

Discover Weekend
This past weekend Owen had another highly successful Discover Weekend. DW is our twice-a-year recruiting event where anyone who wants to get a feel for the school is invited to join for a Saturday full of all things Owen. As someone who works in the Admissions office, this year’s first event was exactly on par with our previous successes.
This event holds a special place for me. This event was my "love-at-first-site" event for Owen. The chemistry with the Deans, faculty, students and alumni was instant. For whatever reason I managed to remember almost everyone’s name. I was never not happy or smiling (even in the financial aid session). And let’s not forget the Saturday reception downtown. It just felt right. I visited a few other schools at about the same time and none were able to match that feeling. I was cautious to be too gushing since I was elated about getting out of my old job, but it wasn’t just the change. The change of scenery only had that positive effect on me at Owen. So much so that one of the first things I did was interview for the job that helps direct those events for future visitors so that my same excitement could be passed on to others.
