The Portland Business Connection is a partnership between the OSU College of Business and Alumni Association. Our goal is to create a forum for alumni and industry professionals to share their expertise and connect with other leaders. The Connection will include events hosted by the well established OSU Business Roundtable. The Roundtable features speakers who have achieved success since graduating from OSU and also includes guests to update current campus happenings. The Portland OSU Business Connection adds to the series with valuable presentations by high achieving business professionals from outside the OSU community.
These guests who may be coming to campus to share their expertise with the College of Business will also appear before our group in Portland. Alumni speakers will also be included in the expanded series.
