I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your admission to Ross MSCM program class of 2014 and welcome you to MSCM community.
Just a quick introdution - My name is Tai Awan and I am current MSCM student and president of 2013 Student leadership team. Most of my work experience is in engineering and logistics program management at a Defense manufacturer and brief stint in defense consulting. Additionally, I served 3 years in U.S Army after high school.
I am available to answer any questions you may have about the MSCM program, Ann Arbor, Tauber program, apartment hunting, or social life in AA area. If you are international student and have specific questions about the process (I-20 etc) please let me know. I will do my best to match you with current students who went through the process last year.
 
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I am also available to talk over the phone.
 
Again, congratulations and welcome.
 
Go Blue!

Hi Everyone,

I’m excited to join the MSCM program in January. My name is Patrick Tobler and I am from Philadelphia, PA. I have an undergraduate degree in Business Economics from Loyola University Maryland. After completing my degree, I joined Deloitte Consulting in Washington DC, where I worked on strategy & operations projects for the US government. Last October I moved back to Philadelphia, where I am in my current role as a Business Analyst for ARAMARK, a $13 billion food service company.

I look forward to meeting you next January. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck finding housing in Ann Arbor? It’s been frustrating finding apartments with leases that start in January.

Please feel free to e-mail or call at 609-217-5256.

-          Pat

Hi all
Greetings from China! I'm Zhenyi Zhang, you can call me Bill for short. Currently, I'm a senior planner for Thermo Fisher Scientific. Before that I worked for Kraft Foods also as a planner.
So glad to join the program and look forward to seeing you guys in Ann Arbor!

Busy preparing my enrollment documentations, I never got a chance to check out the housing in Ann Arbor. Thank Pat to bring this up, and I assume the school students center can provide us more specific information about available housing in Jan, maybe some information of students from MSCM class 2013, since they will leave campus then. Right?
Anyone could share more information about it? Thanks

Regards, Bill Zhang

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to meet each of you as we start this journey together.  My name is Ankur Agarwal and I grew up all over the place – mostly in New York but also overseas (France, India, and the Middle East).   My undergrad was in Economics and International Relations from Cornell University.  I’ve been working for over nine years in various industries.  My first role after college was as a Buyer for Toyota Motors at their North American headquarters.  For the past five years I’ve been working as a Senior Purchasing Manager at P&G.  This job has been fascinating as it has taken me all over the world, including an expat assignment in Asia (Beijing, Singapore, Kobe).    Currently, I’m based in Cincinnati (P&G’s global headquarters).

I’m excited to head back to school, deepen my expertise, broaden my knowledge & networks, and make some new friends.  FYI - I’m planning on attending the Spotlight conference in AA in 2 weeks.  If any of you were planning on also joining – we should definitely meet up together.    

Feel free to email or call my cell phone at +1-513-543-8892.

Looking forward to meeting each of you in a few short months!

Hi Everybody,

My name is Bo Kan and I was accepted into the Ross MSCM class of 2014 a few days ago.  I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2009 with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and have been living in Ann Arbor since 2005.  I am pretty familiar with the area so feel free to ask me any questions.  After graduation, I started working for a supply chain company called Allied Technology near the Detroit airport that supplies components to the auto industry and got my first experience in this field.  Currently, I am doing project development and management at the same company and have interacted with many buyers, purchasing managers, and quality engineers in the Detroit area.

I am exited to meet all of you in a few months.  My number is 304-282-3899 if you want to get in touch.

Best,

Bo

Hi everyone,

Sorry I'm so late joining the group. I am currently a student at Michigan pursuing my Masters in Industrial and Operations Engineering. I am also already part of the Tauber program. The reason I'm so late is because I am pursuing the MSCM as a dual degree so after the year of MSCM classes I'll still have an additional semester to go with the rest of my IOE requirements. I've been living in Michigan for the past 3 months and before that I am originally from California. I did my undergrad at University of California, Riverside where I received a BS in Pure math and a minor in business admin. I also just graduated in June, so I'm probably one of the younger people in the group. I look forward to meeting everybody. I know how difficult it is coming in late (they are starting to sign up for next year's housing now for example) so if you have any questions I might be able to answer or just to make friends just let me know. My email is ag...@umich.edu.
Best,
Ashley Gregory
