Article By: Clark Leonard
The University of North Georgia's (正澳门六合彩开奖结果) Mike Cottrell College of Business is hosting the second annual "Camp Logistics: Movin' It From Here to There" from June 24-28 at 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's Dahlonega Campus.
Sponsored by Gainesville-based company Syfan Logistics, the camp seeks to expose high school students from Forsyth, Habersham, Hall, Jackson, and Lumpkin counties to the logistics and supply chain management industry. Students will learn about the parts of supply chain management that deal with efficient flow of goods and services from the point of origin to the point of consumption.
Students in high school during the 2023-24 academic year can apply on the Camp Logistics webpage. There is no cost for participants.
"We want to make sure we set these students up for success and make sure they are career-ready," Dr. Varun Gupta, associate professor of logistics and business analytics, said. "We want to show them the opportunities both in higher education and the logistics and supply chain industry. We want to make sure they understand this sector's importance to the northeast Georgia region."
Camp Logistics will run for five days this year and include learning activities, games and guest speakers in the mornings and industry visits in the afternoons. Field trips will include visits to King's Hawaiian, Kubota, Agile Cold Storage, and Syfan Logistics.
These trips enable students to see the practical side of logistics: packaging, handling, shipping, transportation, and related functions.
"This camp is an amazing example of reaching out to the high school students in the community and enlightening them on their options after graduation. Given its location, logistics is a critically important component for maintaining Georgia's current and future competitive advantage," Dr. Mohan Menon, department head of marketing and management, said. "These students could become the next generation decision-makers that propel Georgia's ascent into the premier logistics center in the Southeast and possibly in America's East coast."
