Written by Verst Logistics | March 13, 2024

Since its inception in 2020, The Supply Chain and Logistics program at The Northern Kentucky University Haile College of Business has consistently achieved remarkable growth and success. Emerging as one of the top 3 growth programs on campus, it demonstrates the institution's steadfast dedication to providing cutting-edge education.

This growth trajectory extends to the program's recent developments, including the introduction of a master's degree and the establishment of The Verst Group Logistics Hub for Supply Chain Excellence in 2022. Serving as a versatile resource center, the Hub offers an extensive array of valuable resources for students and proudly hosts the student chapter of ASCM (American for Supply Chain Management).

Verst Logistics has generously pledged $250,000 to both the program and the Hub, disbursed over five years. Notably, $150,000 of this donation has been specifically allocated for scholarships benefiting junior and senior program enrollees. Local business leaders have further amplified this initiative by matching the $150,000, resulting in a substantial scholarship fund totaling $300,000.

Todd Johnson, President & COO at Verst, assumes a pivotal role as a member of the program's Advisory Board. His invaluable contributions play a crucial part in shaping the curriculum and fostering meaningful connections between students and industry leaders.

Remaining resolute in its commitment to education, innovation, and shaping the future of supply chain and logistics, Verst Logistics expresses sincere gratitude to all supporters, contributors, and industry leaders who have played an essential role in achieving these remarkable milestones.
