Southeastern Supply Chain Management Program listed among tops in nation 
study dot com logoSoutheastern’s Supply Chain Management Program has been recognized among the top in the nation for 2019 by Study.com, a website that helps students research potential schools, degrees, and careers.
     The website recognized 23 colleges and universities on the list. According to Study.com, the schools were selected based on unique features that give students an edge in the job market. The listed colleges and universities offer real-life training, simulations of actual supply chains, or hands-on projects, and many of them provide flexible course schedules or the convenience of online study, the website said.
     “Our faculty, business partners, and alumni take an active interest in helping students find jobs in their majors,” said Dean of the College of Business Antoinette Phillips. “Supply Chain Management students have opportunities for real world experiences that make them job-ready, and able to contribute to their employers’ success from day one.”
     As the only Louisiana school on the list, Southeastern was selected based on career and educational resources, faculty, job placement and more. The complete list can be accessed at https://study.com/resources/supply-chain-management-schools.
     The website cited Southeastern’s close ties with the Institute for Supply Management, a not-for-profit professional organization for supply chain management, as one of the reasons for being selected. It also stated that students enrolled in the supply chain management program are engaged in practical learning as well as classroom education, and that the school’s Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management supports purchasing and logistics functions of regional retailers, wholesalers, and distributers.
     Additionally, Southeastern’s program offers a variety of internships for its students, including those at Cal-Maine Foods, Marathon Petroleum, Wal-Mart Logistics, Coca-Cola, and The State of Louisiana’s Office of Procurement. Students who graduate from the program have gone on to work for employers such as Lock-Heed Martin, Pool Corp., Smitty’s Supply, Cisco, and more.

Religious Intolerance Lecture coming to Southeastern
The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that the number of hate crimes in the U.S., especially those targeting religious groups, has risen since 2016. Rev. Robin McCullough-Bade, executive director of the Interfaith Federation of Greater Baton Rouge, will address this problem at the inaugural Civility in Public Discourse lecture scheduled Nov. 14 at 4 p.m.
     Sponsored by Southeastern’s Department of Languages and Communication, the lecture, titled “Religious Tolerance in an Age of Intolerance,” will take place in Southeastern’s Student Union, room 2203, and is free and open to the public.
     McCullough-Bade is speaking at the invitation of Carol M. Madere, Ph.D., the Elizabeth Weeks Jones endowed professor in the humanities. Through her focus on civility in public discourse, Madere, an associate professor in the Department of Languages and Communication, said she plans to invite a number of speakers to campus to address the causes of incivility and intolerance that many feel have produced the divisive society that exists today.
     “Religious, political, racial and gender differences seem to be ripping apart the fabric of society today,” said Madere. “I’m hoping to expose the university community to people who have thought deeply about how to reduce the friction and find common ground again.”
     McCullough-Bade is an ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. She has served as executive director of the Interfaith Federation of Greater Baton Rouge since 2009.
     For more information, contact Madere at cmadere@southeastern.edu.
