Welcome to Accelerator 2009




Welcome to Accelerator 2009. This year’s Summer Business Institute will begin on Friday, May 29th and will run through Friday, June 26th. Accelerator is an intensive immersion in business designed exclusively for undergraduates and recent grads in all majors. In four fast-paced weeks at the Owen Graduate School of Management some of the top young minds from around the globe are immersed in real-world consulting roles for companies, helping to solve issues in marketing, logistics, finance, operations and branding. Within a competitive team structure and with a "grab it and go" education from world-class Vanderbilt faculty, these students are challenged to deliver the best solutions possible for these businesses, and in doing do, shape their careers in ways that a traditional internship simply cannot come close to replicating.

Students who choose Vanderbilt's Accelerator program get a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our 2009 Corporate Partners represent a diverse and expansive industry mix, propelling the students to learn business by doing business. You can learn more about Accelerator by visiting

Each day during the program, I will share our journey as these 80 young men and women are challenged to do more than they ever imagined.
