New Program Coming Soon

After many successful years of operating the Donald W. Fogarty International Paper Competition, the E&R Board of Directors has recognized the need to replace the paper competition with a program that will help universities and colleges better align their operations management curriculum with the needs of corporations worldwide.

The E&R board is pleased to announce the development of a new annual program to replace the Donald W. Fogarty International Paper Competition. The new program will bring together student leaders, professors, and corporation representatives to study what corporations need from new employees and how universities and colleges can prepare these new employees.

More information and applications to be a part of this new venture will be available on this Web site in mid-May 2008.
