Empowering the NOW Generation
The future of supply chain starts with educating young and bright minds with the best programs that, fortunately, The University of Arkansas has covered.
In this episode, Scott W. Luton sits down with Dr. Stephanie Thomas, Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas, and three outstanding students from the JB Hunt Department of Supply Chain Management: Ethan Helm, Madison Simpson, and Kelly Henderson. Together, they explore their passions as the next generation of supply chain thought starters and leaders.
The conversation dives into how the university and the ecosystem surrounding it creates unparalleled opportunities for students through internships, real-world experience, and industry engagement. Altogether, today’s panel shares insights on the evolving supply chain landscape, ever-evolving technology, the importance of fostering diversity and mentorship through initiatives like the Wise Future Leaders Symposium.
