Supply chain students attend/intern at supply chain conference

Two College of Business supply chain management (SCM) majors attended the Council for Supply Chain Management Professionals conference in Anaheim Sept. 15-18.

Allyson Boos was sponsored by the Raleigh Roundtable of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. Lilly Rakes was sponsored by Dr. John Kros’ Vincent K. McMahon Distinguished professorship. They were chosen from all the other COB SCM students due to their grades and leadership qualities. Boos and Rakes also served as interns at the conference.

Below, both Boos and Rakes provide their thoughts on the experience.

“Through this experience, I learned about the logistics behind hosting a conference, networking, and advancements within the field of supply chain,” said Boos. “Thanks to the support of East Carolina University and its College of Business and the Raleigh RoundTable, I gained real-world experience, which helped me better understand the industry I will be in upon graduating.”

Said Rakes, “I am grateful to have had the opportunity to attend the CSCMP conference in Anaheim, California. Talking to different companies helped me figure out what I like and what I don’t like and gave me a better idea of where I want to be in the broad term of supply chain. This was such an amazing experience, and I have learned a lot to take with me throughout my journey.”
