Announcement of Dr. Neil Southern Logistics Endowed Fund Scholarship Winners, 2010

The Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management is pleased to announce this year’s winners of the Dr. Neil Southern Logistics Endowed Fund Scholarship.  This annual scholarship was established to provide assistance to undergraduate Logistics and Supply Chain Management majors. 

The committee reviewed a competitive pool of applicants.  Academic achievement, financial need, a commitment to a career in supply chain management, and enthusiasm for the major are distinguishing factors considered by the committee.

The winners are:

Anthony Jordan.  Anthony is a second-generation logistician looking to start his own logistics company.  He is currently a junior.

Herman VanHorn.  Herman currently works as a distribution center manager.  He plans to leverage his experience and education toward career progression in the field.  He is currently a sophomore.

Cassandra Young.  Cassandra’s experience in financial banking fostered her interest in supply chain management and inspired her return to the University of Memphis.  She is currently a junior.

There were several competitive applicants for the award this year and we had a challenging task to select the winners.  We’d like to wish all of the applicants the best of luck in continuing their studies and ask you all to please join with us in congratulating the winners.
