BGSU Supply Chain Management Association

BGSU SCMA is looking forward to February meetings and events after a successful start to the Spring semester.

In January, SCMA discussed plans for the semester at the executive board meeting. Our first professional development meeting with Infor offered great insight and information about the company and field.

February's professional development meeting, Pre-EXPO Advice & Finding an Internship, held on the 1st, was a great opportunity for members to gain knowledge and advice for the upcoming BGSU Spring 2021 Job Fair. In the week of February 8th, we will have the opportunity to network with Supply Chain Management Institute members for the Job Fair.

Later this month, the executive board will meet to finalize plans for professional development meetings for the rest of the semester.

BGSU SCMA has earned enough points to receive Gold status for the 2020-2021 academic year, retaining Platinum level as an organization!
