I chose Nebraska because it's one of the best programs in the nation. I started out in the supply chain management graduate certificate and used it as a stepping stone into the M.S. in supply chain management program. I took my new knowledge to change processes and make them more efficient. For example, we re-organized our parachute shop and saved valuable hours by cutting down unnecessary steps.
