Oregon State University's Center for the Outdoor Recreation Economy (CORE) has joined other leading recreation organizations as the newest member of Outdoor Recreation Roundtable (ORR), of which the NMMA is a founding member.
As ORR's first higher education member, OSU's CORE will bring the bandwidth and expertise of a top-tier public university to the $689 billion outdoor recreation industry, supporting the sector's research and workforce development needs through the development of industry-informed and relevant trainings and certifications.
"The growth and resource possibilities with CORE joining the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable are tremendous," said Jessica Turner, president of Outdoor Recreation Roundtable. "OSU's CORE will be able to build on its already impressive portfolio of insightful research and education with us to provide training and certification programs needed to move the outdoor industry forward."
