Ilvens Jean came to the United States from Haiti when he was six years old, and he was the first in his family to earn a college degree. Those influences led him to go farther, and he knew what he wanted — to pursue a graduate degree. Vanderbilt’s international reputation in finance led him to visit Owen, and the visit made his decision easy.

“I had an awesome student guide who gave some really good advice, and I had a chance to attend a finance class where I experienced the small class size feeling that Owen offers,” Ilvens says.
