Timothy CrammerM.S. in Logistics and Supply Chain MgmtTim has been a pleasure to have in the program and has really used this opportunity to apply his education at his company to bring ‘best in class’ practices to the organization. While working on his Capstone, Tim was able to utilize the process of value added engineering to improve the business process and decision making in his own projects and future opportunities. He has brought valuable insights to the classroom and has helped challenge and improve the learning process!

Stephen WallaceMaster of Information SystemsSteve's dedication to in-depth research and his ability to synthesize complex concepts, showed passion for the material and a commitment to succeed. He provided great value to the cohort with the encouragement he provided for class participation and the informative and constructive comments made through his many posts. His capstone project was focused on helping firms mitigate the risks associated with unsecure mobile devices, an environment all too common and greatly exacerbated by today’s “bring your own device” world of portable, smart technologies.
