Request Your 12Twenty Account
The Vanderbilt Owen 12Twenty career platform is your home for alumni job postings and proprietary job search resources, the same platform our full-time students have used successfully for years. All ACM resources, tools, and guidance are available there.
Click to request your account and provide the following information: program name, class year, and a non-Vanderbilt email address.
Networking is a powerful tool. It's never a cold call when you network within the Alumni Owen network; that's the low-hanging fruit, because you are already a member of the family. From there, the connections will multiply.
