<p class="MsoNormal">The State of Oregon Research Academy has sifted through all of the responses from our annual survey and the focus group discussions. You guys came up with fantastic suggestions for helping make SORA even better, and we look forward to

<p class="MsoNormal">One of the themes we heard over and over again is the desire for more networking opportunities. Towards that end, we’d like to introduce you to the first ever
