You learn a lot about a lot of things in this type of environment. There's lots of contact, lots of interaction. It's pretty soon, I think. Well having six programs a year, along with the other benefits, certainly makes the program a leader in executive education for people in the logistics field. And the faculty here have worked very hard to create an impressive body of knowledge through their ongoing research efforts.
Affiliates get great value through interacting with faculty members here.
A week after I started I had the chance to attend the executive course on logistics and supply chain management, and I have to say I was impressed at the caliber of the attendees. I also had a chance to visit with a number of program members there, and I found them all to be very friendly and very interested in increasing their professional knowledge about logistics and the supply chain. Many of them had excellent ideas for future logistics programs based on their business needs. The Affiliates Program needs someone who has significant experience in both industry and research, and my qualifications match those job requirements very closely. I have a broad background in business, I have experience in university teaching, I have model building skills and a strong publication record.
