Read McNamara, MA\u201976, Executive Director of the Career Management Center at Owen, describes the CMC\u2019s mission as something akin to moving mountains. The days when companies recruited exclusively on college campuses\u2014\u201cwhen the man went to the mountain,\u201d as he puts it\u2014are long over. Today\u2019s marketplace demands that the CMC \u201cget the mountain to the man,\u201d he says, by figuring out more focused and creative ways of putting Owen students in front of prospective employers. Ultimately it\u2019s about going the extra mile for every customer, including not only students and recruiters but also Owen alumni, who play a key role in the job placement process. What follows is an assortment of facts, figures and other details that highlight the CMC\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n

In 2011 Tami Fassinger, BA\u201985, was named Owen\u2019s Chief Recruiting Officer, a role that closely aligns the Admissions office with the CMC. The appointment reflects the school\u2019s initiative to take a more personalized, career-centric approach to finding the right B-school candidates and then giving them the resources to land their dream jobs. \u201cRather than just blindly pursue candidates with the highest GMAT scores and slot them into one of our programs,\u201d Fassinger says, \u201cour team strives to understand the career goals of each person who comes through our doors, and then do what we can to support each one through the enrollment decision, graduation and far beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
