ORANGE BOOK 2014-2015 Dear Friend, Since 2010 the Department of Marketing has acknowledge the importance of our seniors’ achievements by celebrating our students who have been selected by the faculty as outstanding stu- dents in marketing and international business. Each of the recipients has gone beyond the traditional college experience of taking courses to voluntarily participate in opportunities that truly broaden their education. Selection to the Orange Book honors those graduating OSU marketing and international business seniors who are academically outstanding, demonstrate service to their departments, univer- sity and/or community, or are active in extracurricular, academic or professional activities. Twenty-five marketing majors and two international business majors have been named to this year's Orange Book. The Orange Book that you hold in your hands showcases these outstanding indi- viduals. It is our expression of appreciation for our students’ valuable contributions to the campus and to the community during their undergraduate tenure. This year’s honorees are student leaders who have positively impacted the organizations with which they are involved and have represented Oklaho- ma State University and the Spears School of Business very well. Our program currently has 772 Marketing majors and 187 International Business majors. Se- lection to the Orange book honors students by recognizing that their excellence reflects positively on the Spears School of Business and Oklahoma State University. We will miss them; we always do, but the OSU family is a tight one – our graduates tend to stay in touch. To learn more about the work of the Department of Marketing, visit http://spears.okstate.edu.
