HOW TO GET INVOLVED with MIM

There are many ways for area companies and professionals to get involved with the School of Business Administration’s (SBA) Graduate Business Programs’ MIM Program.

Here are quick links to some of the topics covered elsewhere among these pages:

In addition, we offer the following opportunities for professionals seeking to share their time, knowledge, and experience with future MIM business colleagues:

Guest Speakers on Campus
Throughout the 2008–2009 academic year, the School of Business Administration (SBA) hosted more than 100 executives as guest speakers. Sharing their expertise and knowledge, these executives represented a variety of Northwest industries ranging from the presidents of smaller companies like Insight Schools and Hanna Andersson, to the highest executives at Legacy Health Systems, Intel, and other multinational corporations. Becoming a guest speaker is an excellent opportunity for businesses to share expertise with future professionals and to connect with the next generation of Portland area business colleagues.
