"You Don't Need a Unicorn to Be Your Own Boss!"

Forget the pitch decks, the Series A, and the pressure to build the next billion-dollar app. Most successful businesses in America never take a dime of venture capital. They're bootstrapped, bought, inherited, or built one customer at a time.

In partnership with Oregon Founders Club, Mohr Career Services, and the Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship, come hear from founders and small business owners who took the other road: buying an existing business, growing through revenue, franchising, or turning a side hustle into a real living. Bring your questions. Leave with a clearer picture of what building something of your own actually looks like.

Panelists:

• Anne Marie Levis, President - Creative Director, Funk & Levis, Advertising/PR
• Justin Freeman, Owner, Bagel Sphere, Retail - Food
• Melissa Koke, President, QSL Printing, Business Services
• Malia Schultheis, CEO and Lead Designer, TruForm Tiny Homes, Home Manufacturing
• Jen Carroll, COO and Co-Owner, TruForm Tiny Homes, Home Manufacturing
• Dylan Sagahon Smith (Moderator), Director of Recruitment, Oregon Founders Club, Expected to graduate in 2028

Are we measuring what actually matters, or just what’s easy to count?

Join Data Services for a sharp, no-nonsense discussion of Jerry Z. Muller’s The Tyranny of Metrics. We’re taking a hard look at "metric fixation", the dangerous belief that everything can and should be quantified.

From higher education to healthcare to corporate management, Muller argues that our obsession with performance indicators, dashboards, and standardized data is actively making our institutions worse. Instead of improving efficiency, it encourages people to game the system rather than do their actual jobs.

What’s on the table:

• The Trap of Quantification: Why throwing data at a problem often creates a worse one.
• The Reality Check: A skeptical look at when metrics actually work, and when they fail spectacularly.
• The Discussion: Bring your frustrations, your insights, and your critiques. Expect an honest, unfiltered conversation about the very real limits of data-driven decision-making.

Open to all students, faculty, and staff. e-book editions are available through the library.

Interested in participating in a case competition this year? Case competitions are one of the best ways to build real business skills, stand out to employers, and earn recognition along the way, but participating in your first one can feel intimidating.

This hands-on event breaks down exactly how case competitions work and gives you a repeatable approach you can use to tackle any case with confidence. During this interactive two-hour session, you'll:

• Work through a real mock case as a team — Move from a messy business problem to a clear, persuasive recommendation.
• Learn the case competition playbook – Understand the common formats, the loose team roles (team lead, researcher, strategist, quant), and what judges are actually looking for.
• Work a realistic mock case – Team up to tackle an authentic UO business challenge, scaffolding your approach from understanding the problem to presenting your solution.
• Practice the full process – Move through the five step process great teams use; understand the problem, research and analyze, develop a hypothesis, build a recommendation, and present clearly.
• Discover the right tools – Get introduced to the research and analysis tools (from UO Libraries databases to AI tools) that give competitive teams an edge.
