I am excited to be named the first Director of Middle Tennessee State University's Center for Supply Chain Management and Sustainability.
We are working on two exciting programs for the Fall of 2025.
· Synergy-Experience: providing students with real-world experience through internships and an innovative program where students work toward specific curriculum objectives in partnership with a project/work experience at a company.
· Synergy-CollabLab: students collaborate with industry partners to solve real problems. This program brings students and industry partners together to analyze and solve challenges to find applicable and implementable
solutions.
In the latest issue of the Urban Technology at University of Michigan, program director Bryan Boyer revisits a core hypothesis of the degree program—more data, more feedback loops, better buildings and cities—and we hear from a few students about their summer internships, who are themselves creating new feedback loops into our curriculum.

I should add that these are PAID internships. Not only does this make our internships accessible to those who can’t afford to work for free, there is a noticeable difference in the quality and consistency of their work over the span of the semester. It is a lot easier to give more to an organization when they are compensating you for your time. At the very least, I believe we need to be paying interns enough to cover the indirect expenses that come with a job (gas, meals, clothing, etc.).

Check out Public Allies National Board member and staff alum, Marc McAleavey, MSW's, blog post on leadership development! In this piece, he shares his belief that everyone has the capacity and skills to step up and lead positive change in their communities. ⭐
"Public Allies believes that everyone leads: that leadership isn’t a position, but actions we take. Through this, I have come to know that leadership is like a muscle that everyone has... However, when we marry our gifts and talents with the hopes and dreams of our neighbors, our leadership muscles grow and thrive in the power of community."
Marc McAleavey, Community Analysis Program Manager at The Polis Center, shares his insights on how Luddy students are developing leadership skills through the research partnership between Polis and Luddy Indianapolis. In his guest blog he explains that, in 2023, Polis hosted over 100 student interns in paid internships to support the numerous and diverse research and analysis projects they have with community rooted organizations in Indiana and across the globe. https://lnkd.in/eYjfffmu
