APICS 2013 Scholar

“I’m the proud recipient of the ‘APICS Scholar’ at APICS Conference, 2013. I was waiting for this opportunity for long time as a graduate student with major in Supply Chain Management (SCM)…The experience at the APICS conference was worth it to me because I learned a lot about APICS and made some good contacts with professionals and students with other universities. I’m very fortunate to have matched with mentor who is into Oil & Gas Consulting business for last 30 years. He is a big source of guidance to me and I expect to learn a lot from him.”
