Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Pathways to Supply Chain Program

Women account for 37% of students in supply chain courses, yet only 5% of C-suite executives in Fortune 500 companies. In comparison, women hold 15% of executive officer positions at Fortune 500 firms. While there is a relative balance of men/women at the undergraduate level, the imbalance at senior leadership levels is dramatic.

Regardless of these factors, The Max M. Fisher College of Business created a program to enhance the pathways to success for students in supply chain as a means of enhancing the aggregate skillset. This program, offered by the Operations and Business Analytics Department, is a scholarship, experiential cohort program, with opportunities for students to engage with industry executives in a mentoring capacity. The program is open to all undergraduate students regardless of sex or gender.
