among the oldest SCM programs in the United States. A decade ago, the
school established the Jerry and Vickie Moyes Center for Supply Chain
Excellence with a multi-million-dollar endowment pledge from WSU alumnus
and transportation industry magnate, Jerry Moyes, and has built an active
industry advisory board. Our SCM students have won national supply chain
case competitions at Arizona State, Minnesota, and GM/Wayne State. Demand
for our students far exceeds our available graduates. Recruiters include
