  • Poster Competition: The student summer internship poster competition is a key function held within the annual fall operations conference. The competition was created to benefit both industry visitors as well as students by accomplishing three primary objectives:
  • To demonstrate to industry visitors the caliber of summer projects that Krannert students can complete during an internship within a firm, and to provide an alternative resource for locating student candidates interested in operations and supply chain careers.
  • Provide an opportunity for graduate students to promote their talents and market themselves by visiting with industry and explaining their work experience.
  • Expose undergraduate and 1st-year MBA students to the variety of companies and employment opportunities they might encounter when searching for internship employment themselves.
