MIME Industry Advisory Board

The MIME Industry Advisory Board is a service to Oregon State University undertaken by dedicated  companies and their designated representatives. We rely on IAB members to advise us on curriculum planning and for assistance in strengthening our industry partnerships.

IAB members fulfill three-year terms to ensure that they have ample opportunities to learn the inner workings of the school. They convene up to four times a year for business meetings and to support student activities. Members also support curriculum enrichment through involvement in student development activities, including mentoring, guest lectures, and participation in academic functions and public events.

We recruit IAB members from our alumni network and through our faculty involvement in business and industry. We welcome inquiries about IAB membership from any company willing to make the commitment of time and interest. Please contact the Employer Relations Manager to learn more.

Member companies receive several benefits, including:

• Priority relationship development for company research and development projects
• Facilitated access to MIME faculty
• Coordinated access to MIME undergraduate and graduate students
• MIME investment in student internship and recruitment for IAB companies
• Input on research facilities and asset investment relevant to IAB industries
