Who we are...

The Logistics, Transportation and Supply Chain Management Society is a student-run, student-elected undergraduate organization in the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland.

What we do...

The LTSCM Society holds weekly meetings where guest speakers address members in an effort to provide insight to the Logistics, Transportation, and Supply Chain Management field. In addition, each fall the Society hosts INDUSTRY DAY, a career fair that includes an award presentation for the LTSCM Person of the Year as well as a networking lunch for alumni, students and recruiters.

Our Mission Statement...

LTSCM provides real-world exposure and opportunities to LTSCM students through industry speakers, networking events with professionals and alumni, and field trips; builds community and mentorship among LTSCM students while developing mutually beneficial corporate relationships in the LTSCM field; and consistently expands and improves the organization's services, procedures, and professionalism.

 

Why should you consider a career in Supply Chain/Logistics?

The University of Maryland’s LTSCM program ranks #3 in research (Transportation Journal) and #7 in Supply Chain Management/Logistics undergrad programs (US News and World Report 2007). The average starting salary for 2007/2008 R. H. Smith LTSCM undergraduates was $51,833 and scholarships are readily available for qualified students. The curriculum is state-of-the art and includes extensive hands-on work with cutting edge supply chain information technology, including Oracle and SAP, in our supply chain lab. Students benefit from smaller class sizes and much greater contact with faculty. They can take part in numerous programs and events that put the students face to face with industry experts and recruiters.  Our highly regarded program attracts top employers and the job opportunities are excellent, particularly for females and minorities.
