Academic Strategies Committee

The Academic Strategies Committee (ASC) serves as the vital link between CSCMP’s governing body and the academic community, working with educators, institutions, and students across undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs to advance supply chain management. The committee oversees the Academic Research Symposium (ARS) and the Bowersox Doctoral Symposium, both held at the EDGE Conference, and administers CSCMP’s academic awards, including the Doctoral Dissertation Award, Bernard J. La Londe Best Paper Award, and E.G. Plowman Award, among others. Additionally, the ASC supports various research and teaching initiatives, ensuring a strong connection between academia and industry. Its members, drawn from both the educator and practitioner communities, play a key role in bridging scholarship and real-world application.
