The OSU Business Roundtable is ready to kick off another impressive series featuring alumni speakers. Membership includes admission and lunch for you, and a guest, to five networking events during the academic year. Prorated memberships are available.
The OSU Business Roundtable (BRT) is made possible by a partnership between the OSU College of Business and the OSU Alumni Association. The goal is to provide networking and service opportunities for alumni within the Portland area business community. We host a dynamic speaker series that features successful alumni as key speakers. We've recently added a mentoring program that partners current OSU students with a BRT mentor/host. For more information on our mentoring program, please contact: Dave Chin DaveChin@ActionCoach.com or John Mohler jmohler@maginnis-carey.com .
