Where We Started
The Online Business Student Association (OBSA) was established in January 2017 by Rachel Pruitt and Emiko Bankson with the objective of fostering a sense of connectivity with Arizona State University (ASU). The core mission of OBSA, which remains steadfast to this day, is to facilitate meaningful connections among highly accomplished online students who seek to engage with the ASU Business student community, thereby enriching their ASU experience and augmenting their journey toward becoming successful business professionals. To accomplish this, OBSA provides a comprehensive suite of academic, networking, and social resources, along with online meetings, exclusively tailored to the needs of online W. P. Carey students. Our unwavering commitment is to ensure that every online W. P. Carey student feels a profound sense of connection, value, and preparedness for their triumphant transition beyond ASU's gates upon graduation.
