The Honors College proudly presents a lecture by Dr. Rod Ray, Former CEO of Bend Research, entitled "Leadership ItsOwnSelf: The Use of Principles and Values in Leading Organizations." 

Dr. Ray started at Bend Research in 1975 in his late teens and departed occasionally during his tenure for educational endeavors. Dr. Ray saw the company grow from four employees to 135, at which time he became CEO. Dr. Ray brought the company to 250 employees by 2014 when the company was acquired by Capsugel in one of Bend, Oregan's, largest acquisitions to-date.

Currently, he remains on the scientific and business advisory board for Capsugel and freelances as a local, iconic business consultant.

This lecture is free and open to the public.
