Corporate Giving

Owen’s Corporate Giving Campaign provides corporations employing a high concentration of alumni the opportunity to contribute as a collective group. Within each organization, we look to our Corporate Campaign Leader to broadcast pertinent information from the school to his or her colleagues while encouraging them to make annual contributions to help propel Owen forward. In a time when attentions are being begged from a multitude of sources, Owen alumni continue to stand together and faithfully support their alma mater.

Benefits of giving to Owen’s Corporate Campaign include special invitations to Owen events in your area, enhanced relationship between your company and Vanderbilt and recognition at the annual Owen Circle Dinner.

In fiscal year 2011, three of the Corporate Giving Campaigns succeeded in reaching 100 percent participation. Congratulations and special thanks to Ryan Dix with ExxonMobil, Anu Pardeshi with DaVita, and Jim Rodrigues with ProLogis for their efforts.
