Approximately once each term club members and others take a Business Field Trip. The purpose of a field trip is to learn about a company's operations directly from the people who work there. The club has heard from Nike employees about the company's ethics policies, from Hewlett Packard about product development, and from Babcock & Jenkins about building relationships with its direct marketing client base. Often the visit includes a tour of the business's facilities.

This years business trip is to Portland and we will be touring Intel, Lane Marketing, Nike, and Bridgeport Brewery. We will also be making a stop at the Rose Garden for a tour behind the scenes.
