Our Recent SCM Graduate Dr. Davé, I just wanted to thank you for your hard work in teaching Supply Chain Management classes. I started working in IT here at Duke Energy straight out of school and the SCM minor helped me tremendously. Not only did it put me a step ahead of other potential candidates for the job, but it also allowed for me to make a higher salary than many others in my same position. Also, if you decide to show this in any of your classes, and you will if I know you as well as I think I do… Listen to Dr. Davé !!! He can help you and he is full of wise words (in between rants about cheesecake). The SCM minor can give you that extra leg up you need to get ahead of other candidates for a job and it really can set you apart. It helped me out and I know it can help many others as well. Feel free to contact me or have any of your students contact me if anyone has any questions. I’ll be happy to discuss. Go Mountaineers! Go Cheesecake!
