These four young people are already very
accomplished; read about these future leaders of Supply Chain
Management:
Erin Mulvey - MIT
Erin obtained a 5.0 GPA (highest possible) last fall
including an A+ in the foundational course on logistics systems.
This spring she is taking a much higher course load in order to
obtain an MIT Certificate in Sustainability as an add-on to her
master's degree. Her thesis work is also contributing to
sustainability efforts at MIT by proposing a more effective
supply chain for office product delivery across campus.
Erin
came to MIT with a strong background in finance and a successful
stint on Wall Street and is a good addition to the supply chain
professional community
Lauren Folk - Northeastern University
Lauren is a junior and one of
the best students in the supply chain program.
She easily outshines other students as a brilliant,
disciplined, and engaging student with great enthusiasm and
knowledge of supply chain management.
She did a supply chain co-op (internship) in a brand name
company that recruits top students at Northeastern for co-ops.
She has great initiative, leadership, maturity, and
attention to detail.
She has a pleasant demeanor and her enthusiasm in class
discussions is contagious.
Lauren is a Supply Chain Management major and has great
potential to be an industry leader.
Shelby Faux - Maine
Maritime Academy
Shelby is a junior in the International Business and
Logistics Program (IBL) at
Maine
Maritime Academy.
She has an overall GPA of 3.88 and a GPA in her major of
3.97. In addition to
class work, she has also served in two executive roles and on
the competition team for the Student In Free Enterprise (SIFE)
Team.
Shelby spent last summer working in logistics for
Jackson Laboratory in
Bar Harbor, ME,
and is a student writer for the MMA magazine.
She is one of the top students this MMA program has had
in the last 15 years and will be a strong contributor to the
logistics and supply chain profession.
Ryan Spencer -
University of Rhode Island
Ryan is in the top 5% of his class, scoring
almost all ‘A’s in his major courses. In addition to his
coursework, Ryan is a natural leader. He routinely volunteers
for additional responsibility for the Supply Chain Program. He
manages the Supply Chain Management Club, where he develops and
delivers content not available in a normal classroom setting. He
works almost all of the recruiting events, and is an excellent
example for other students to follow. His professors as well and
classmates rate Ryan as the best overall balanced student in the
program. He is an excellent scholar and leader.
Congratulations
to each of these students! The New England Roundtable wishes
them well as they pursue their careers in Supply Chain
Management.
