- Represent Ohio University and the College of Business with the highest level of professionalism, especially when working with employers and alumni. Your student organization is a crucial ambassador of the College of Business, and employers will form impressions about the College based on their interactions with your organization.
- Include a diverse range of participants in your program or panel to provide your audience with a variety of viewpoints and experiences.
- Provide the College of Business Academic Advising and Career Services (BAACS) office with the days, times and locations of your events that include employer and alumni guests. This will provide an opportunity for the CoB Employer Relations Team to meet and welcome guests and discuss further recruiting opportunities on campus. Additionally, should BAACS request contact information for your guests, you will agree to provide that information.
- Share the details of your organization’s official site visits to employers, including contact information if requested. This enables BAACS to extend our appreciation and expand our outreach to employers.
- Update BAACS with any changes in student leadership or contact information for your organization. This ensures we always have up to date information on how to connect with your organization.
- Ensure that at least one officer from your organization attends the monthly College of Business student organization council meetings. This allows your organization to stay informed of important events and initiatives within the College of Business, while providing you with professional development opportunities.
- Promote BAACS events, such as career fairs, to members of your organization. This enables your members to take advantage of valuable professional development opportunities.
- If your organization travels over 100 miles or travels for an overnight trip, you must have a university employee serve as a chaperone for the duration of the trip.
