From the file room to the boardroom
Twelve years ago, Ingrid Scheel burned out in an engineering program and worked part time filing papers at a small fiber optic technology firm. You wouldn’t have predicted her future success. But now Ingrid holds two college degrees. Those papers she used to file? Now she signs them as the company’s vice president.

Moving up – and lifting up others along the way

Behind the scenes with Nikki Brown, business and marketing instructor
There should have been no doubt that Nikki Brown’s career would revolve around business. Her childhood was marked by one clever business venture after another. From lemonade stands to selling lottery tickets (seriously), she was a one-kid start-up machine. Now she is an expert on marketing and consumer behavior who teaches courses online for Oregon State Ecampus on those very topics.
Investing in the future of online education
Who better to help make recommendations about online education than students actually enrolled in the programs? Oregon State’s resounding answer: no one.
