Hello Business Club
Please note that Traci Vogt has sent this to WP students. Please get out and vote.
In an effort to continue to encourage our students to play an active role in this 2008 election I have sent the following email to all students. I also wanted to give the following information to you so that as you encourage students to participate in the election you are aware of the efforts that we are putting forward to promote voting.
Student Government has agreed to pay the postage on any ballots that students drop off in the WPC mail room by Thursday October 30th at 3:00pm. Also (in accordance with the Multnomah County Elections Office regulations) there will be an UNOFFICIAL drop box in the Student Development Office where students can drop off their Multnomah County ballots and I will hand deliver them to an official drop site Tuesday the 4th after 2pm.
As you talk with your students in the next few days, please make them aware of these opportunities. And please let me know if you have any questions.

The Mission of the Business Club
Hello from the WPC Business Club.
We just left a great meeting with Rod Johanson where we were discussing how to better support WPC students with their preparation for their work lives. The business club feels this is its mission. In our logo you see the three words, information, preparation, and aggragation.
Our intention is to provide WPC students, both traditional and ADP, with current information about the business world. We intend on accomplishing this through this website, a series of meetings throughout the school year, and smaller workshops and communities of practice. We feel this will help better prepare the student for their future careers. It doesn't matter if it is a not-for-profit or for profit career the information we are providing is still relevant.
Organizations are made up of distinct individuals that are working toether to provide a service to a customer or client, and the business club wants the students to have a holistic view of business which will help them make better decisions about their future.
