Transitioning internships to employment. Sharing knowledge to solve complex problems. Giving back to fellow classmates through innovative programming. These are just some of the ways that Duquesne engages with PITT OHIO to make great things happen for students like Cassie Lapcevich, who in turn has brought her own talents to PITT OHIO.

Cassie played an integral role at Duquesne's annual Supply Chain Connection event, which connects Duquesne supply chain management students with companies to expose students to different careers and connect companies with potential employees in a "speed-dating" format.

"Our team is passionate about collectively solving problems without boundaries by delivering unique supply chain solutions. We are an open-minded group that thrives on collaboration, and Cassie's personality and skillset fit in very well with our culture. She is a driven young woman that was anxious to put her classwork into action, and her peers have taken notice. Regardless of tenure, they have come to really appreciate her genuine passion to solve problems and contribute to the team, regardless of what she is asked to do," says Chuck Hammel, vice president of supply chain at PITT OHIO. "We admire the program Duquesne University has built and are proud to call the university a partner."
