PSU Master in International Management students (MIMers) are constantly on the go–juggling class, team meetings, networking events, social events, homework, family, etc, etc. They are a busy bunch but they still make time for meeting new people and learning about the ins and outs of anything related to international business. This afternoon a handful of MIMers took time out of their busy day to meet up with Steve Fenker, MIM alumni, at Columbia Sportswear Headquarters in Portland, Oregon. Fenker is currently Columbia Sportswear’s Director of Sourcing and previously held the position of Strategic Operations Manager. The tour included a brief Q&A session in the cafe with questions related to Fenker’s current position, his recent business trip to Hong Kong, Columbia’s manufacturing overseas, and how best to position oneself to land a job with Columbia after graduation. Following the Q&A session, Fenker took the group on a tour of the office ranging from the accounting to design departments–complete with the “fabric sample library,” and then ended the tour with a stop at Columbia’s employee store.
