People and Student Organizations
O.M.B.A.A.
The Oregon M.B.A. Association serves as a link between the student body and program administration. It sponsors a variety of extracurricular activities, such as tailgaters, international nights, an annual ski trip, and professional events, to enrich the overall experience of students in the Lundquist College of Business Oregon M.B.A. Program.
The O.M.B.A.A. also organizes community service events for individuals and groups of M.B.A. students, e.g.
- Oregon Coast Beach Clean-Up
- Food for Lane County fundraisers
- Hurricane Katrina Relief raffle
- Habitat for Humanity site clearing
- Mt. Pisgah Arboretum trail improvement
- Local Schools reading and tutoring
University of Oregon Investment Group
The UOIG is composed of undergraduate and graduate students looking to enhance their education and career opportunities through practical investment experience. Students participate in the operation of an investment management organization. The UOIG is managing investments in excess of $750,000 with returns that routinely beat the S&P 500.
Each member holds the position of "analyst" and focuses his or her research on companies in one of five sectors. Analysts formally present in-depth research reports to the group for critical review of the analyst's action recommendation, upon which a majority vote must be reached. Following this group decision, portfolio managers are responsible for trading equities in their respective portfolios.
Net Impact
Net Impact is a network of more than 10,000 new-generation leaders committed to using the power of business to improve the world. It is also one of the most innovative and influential networks of MBAs, graduate students and young professionals in existence today. Our members believe that business can both earn a profit and create positive social change. Through a central office in San Francisco and more than 115 chapters in cities and graduate schools around the globe, Net Impact offers a portfolio of programs that enable members to transform this ideal into measurable results. A group of O.M.B.A. students interested in sustainability recently revived the local chapter. O.M.B.A. Net Impact works closely with members of the undergraduate Sustainable Business Group.
Sustainable Advantage Conference
For almost a decade, O.M.B.A. students have played leading organizing roles in the annual Sustainable Business Symposium, hosted by LCB and the UO and attracting a host of nationally prominent speakers and much attention. In 2005, the student directors, together with their community board and faculty advisors, decided to recast the annual event into a conference aimed specifically at business people to make them aware of sustainable business practices and help them implement these.
The conference will not take place in 2008.
