Club activities include everything from organizing events, seminars, fundraising for local nonprofits, guest speakers, field trips, site visits, and career development workshops to networking and managing real stock portfolios.
Guest Speakers and Executives
Hundreds of business leaders come to the UO campus every year to share their insights with students in workshops and lectures, via a guest speaker series, or as part of executive-in-residence programs. Students in both our Eugene and Portland programs benefit from these experiences as well as make important connections with business leaders and industry professionals.
