WISE: Women Impacting Supply Chain Excellence

Women Impacting Supply Chain Excellence (WISE) is a Department of Supply Chain Management organization for students with the primary purpose of promoting the field of supply chain management/logistics.

Promoting Inclusion in Supply Chain Management

WISE promotes the field by:

  • sparking an interest in supply chain management/logistics to a diverse group of students

  • serving as a networking and mentoring opportunity with high-level industry members from well-known corporations serving in WISE's executive branch

  • offering career-based advice and knowledge from the perspective of both female executives in the industry and student peers with internship/industry experience

  • encouraging the discussion and understanding of challenges pertaining to gender diversity in the supply chain industry

WISE membership is not exclusive to female students and, in fact, welcomes male students who support female involvement in the field of logistics. WISE membership is also open to anyone with an interest in learning more about the field of supply chain management, regardless of their major.

Four Strategic Initiatives of WISE

All activities and events for WISE members are based on four strategic initiatives:

  1. making connections

Each of these initiatives helps ensure that WISE members are prepared for their future careers.
