How has coronavirus impacted Owen? Have internships and FT employment been reduced? Does the school have the infrastructure in place to effectively deliver online classes? Thank you!
Hi
roundhouse,
Congrats on your Owen decision. We do not have a confirmed case of Corona virus infection on campus to date. However, the University is taking a lot of precautionary measures to ensure the safety of students. In-person classes throughout Vanderbilt University (including Owen) were suspended earlier this week and we will be switching to virtual/online classes from 3/16. The school has the necessary infrastructure to handle this as a lot of the coursework materials are available on Owen's online platform. Besides, we've had successful virtual sessions in the past.
We are yet to see the effects on internships and FT recruiting but we are on the descending tail of the recruiting curve so most students are done with recruiting.
