2023 Operations Management and Supervision Students

STUDENTS

College often can be a supremely influential period in one's life; it's a time for individual growth and maturation. Scholars start to find out who they are as people and develop many of the rudimentary skills to be a flourishing member of society. But growth goes far beyond a classroom - the discussions which one has with his peers, the personal lesson gained from a tenured instructor, the exposure to a different view. Therefore, a diverse student population vastly enhances what one gains from the time in university.
