UW Foster Master of Supply Chain Management Program

| Students' Visit to the Port of Seattle

Earlier this month, our students had the opportunity to visit the Port of Seattle. Seattle is a top export gateway and the port performs a critical function in U.S. international trade. A large percentage of cargo crosses Seattle's docks and is bound for Midwest and East Coast.
Our students got to see how things happen up close and learn about Seattle's major role in our Global Supply Chain. These site visits would not be possible without our Industry partners!

What better way to kick off the summer and network than with a BBQ on campus?

We had an amazing BBQ on campus this week! It was a great opportunity for the staff, faculty, and students from Foster to get together and enjoy some delicious food while soaking up the sun.

Thank you to everyone who came out to join us! We hope to see you all at future events.

What is it like to sign on with a staffing agency and work as a contractor? Last Friday, our Career Services team invited experienced recruiters and alumni to share with us the pros and cons of working as a contractor. Our speakers were:

Jackson Wollan - recruiter from Fuel Talent
Dave Choi - recruiter from Insight Global
Soumik Chakraborty - an MSIS alum ('19) who is a Microsoft product manager. He started his career in the US as a contractor after graduation.
