College of Business: What do you value about your degree?
Jack Lundgren: My major is business administration with a focus in supply chain and logistics management.

So much of what we do today is done in teams and among groups, and often the most effective and successful teams are ones in which people have a mutual respect and understanding of each member’s own talents and capabilities.
