“Networking opportunities provided by the OSM program is how I got my job! I attended
the regional supply chain management conference, with other OSM students, where I
was able to meet many business professionals from different companies. The experiential
projects in many of the classes were also immensely helpful in preparing me for my
first job because I had insight and experience in the field that many college students
don’t have when they graduate.”
