Kundra is in the MBA class of 2010. She is a member of the Supply Chain Student Initiative Club and the Finance and Investment Club at Rutgers Business School. She was awarded the scholarship on Monday, December 8 at the annual Connie Awards Luncheon at the Newark Club.
The collaboration with both corporate and nonprofit organizations is an integral part of Rutgers Business School programs. “By furthering scholarship advancement in specialized areas of business, our programs have a multidisciplinary edge – delivering research and graduates that have the business, science, and technology credentials that today’s employers demand,” said Dean Michael R. Cooper, PhD. “We are proud of Disha and our Supply Chain Management and Marketing Department, and honored that the Containerization & Intermodal Institute selected Rutgers Business School to find their first scholarship recipient.”
The Containerization & Intermodal Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities for transportation industry professionals and the public via a neutral forum for discussion. CII provides these opportunities through existing programs and initiatives, including seminars, scholarships, award programs, educational outreach and historical education. “At the Connie event, student scholarship recipients have the chance to interact with a group of distinguished ocean transportation and intermodal industry executives,“ said Barbara Yeninas, CEO and Senior Partner of BSY Associates, Inc. and Executive Director of CII. The CII scholarship demonstrates the Supply Chain Management at Rutgers Business School’s unparalleled industry collaboration.
The scholarship was established to award an MBA student pursuing a degree in supply chain management or logistics at a New Jersey college. The institute reached out to Rutgers Business School’s Supply Chain Management and Marketing Sciences Department to find a deserving student. The opportunity was open to all students working toward a graduate degree in supply chain management. Applicants were required to submit their resume and a brief essay explaining what they plan on doing after completing the MBA program.
