Innovision Spring 2024

SCOTT JULIANO Entering his last semester at KU, Scott is extremely grateful for the numerous opportunities that have come his way. As President of Supply Chain Club and a Tour Guide for Admissions, Scott has grown into leadership roles. Looking back on the past four years, Scott is thankful for the lessons and skills he learned while at KU. “Coming to Kutztown was the best decision of my life.” SUPPLY CHAIN CLUB Since Spring 2022, Scott has led the Supply Chain Club as president. He works to organize events like Fostering the Future, a networking event for club members to meet with supply chain professionals and future employers. He plans events aimed towards sophomores and juniors in hopes of helping them secure internships. “There is a pipeline of talent that this club produces, and I want to help students find their future employers.” INTERNING FOR NFI Scott knows the life-changing experience of an internship. In December 2021, Scott attended a mock interview event at an NFI location, and he spoke with an HR personnel who connected him with a corporate recruiter. From there, he waited until there was an opening as a Fleet Services Intern for Summer 2022, where he worked to help the Asset Management team complete daily tasks. Nearly a year later, Scott attended a networking event in April 2023, where he met a General Manager at NFI, and through that connection, he started as a Transportation Management Intern in June. “It wasn’t easy,” he said about the experience. “This opportunity came from putting myself out there, being outgoing, and meeting people.” Scott attributes many of his connections to Dr. Gary Chao, who offers opportunities throughout the semester for students to attend networking events. “Dr. Chao is an amazing person to talk to, and not just about academics. He has been instrumental in my growth as both a student and professional.” BEYOND KU After graduation, Scott has accepted a full-time position at NFI as a Transportation Management Logistics Coordinator. “I cannot say enough good things about KU. I grew up here, made connections, and these are the things I will take with me when I graduate.” 8 | INNOVISION MAGAZINE
