Thanks to everyone who made it out to our Second Annual Leadership Summit last week, and a special thanks to all of our speakers and panelists. You made it a great event! We loved getting to chat with everyone at the happy hour afterward as well.

2010 Moore School graduate Matt Conley recently took the opportunity to share his experience with us!

"The Moore School was instrumental in helping me discover my career passions and providing the building blocks for success. From hands-on experience with Capstone projects and the lasting relationships made with classmates, the Moore School was truly a transformational journey.

MGSC 395 with Professor Yazel opened my eyes to the world of operations and supply chain. Combined with my interest in cost accounting, this led to a dual major in Global Supply Chain and Operations Management (GSCOM) and Accounting that has served me well throughout various roles and industries. Dr. Ahire, Dr. Jensen and Dr. Galbreth in GSCOM stand out for their commitment to the program, its students and establishing the department for its national notoriety. I'm very thankful to the Moore School and the doors it helped open for me."
