NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT A RECONSTITUTED OS LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE OS founding director, Rick Price, established the Organizational Studies Leadership Committee (OSLC) soon after the program was born. Our pioneering OSLC members were LSA alumni, including former CEO of JetBlue Airways, Dave Barger, and President and CEO of Levy Restaurants, Andy Lansing. The OSLC provided us with major financial support, internships, and expertise at our annual business meetings. As the OSLC grew, its members began advocating for the presence of our OS alumni at these meetings. Some of you may have joined us at these meetings, either as students during our lunch mentoring sessions, or later, as guests of the director. Based on conversations over the past year with our current OSLC members and OS guests of the director, we will transform our leadership committee to consist mainly of OS alumni with the full range of our graduates’ post-OS experiences. Our current OSLC members will remain as an honorary board, serving in an informal advisory capacity. We hope to share more news with you about the new structure of the committee later this year.
