Professional Preparation

Hunter Duehring
Operations & Supply Chain Management, 2021

The reason why I chose UM-Flint is that it was close to my home and I still get to have a university experience while being able to stay with my family. I absolutely love downtown Flint and I love showing new people around it. I chose supply chain management because it was the closest thing related to my previous interest in becoming an engineer and is a career that focuses on all my strengths such as math, statistics, and business information systems. As an undergrad, I was a brother of Theta Chi, part of the marketing club, and even the creator of the running club. My accomplishments at the university showed me what my true talents are and gave me the confidence I need to be a leader. My degree has landed me multiple job and internship offers and even helped me with the full-time job I have today which I love and am extremely grateful for.
