More than sixty of the school's MBA candidates traveled to Portland October 27-29 for the 2011 Net Impact Conference, the annual gathering of graduate students and professionals committed to using business skills to make the world a better place. Our students have traditionally made a strong showing at these events. This year they enjoyed an especially high profile because, in addition to being a conference co-host, the UO chapter played a leading role in organizing it. What's it like to transition from attendee to organizer? "It was a tremendous opportunity," said chapter president Cassidy Williams. "We grew our network, refined our business skills, and built on our experience by applying the strategies and tools we've learned in the classroom."
