Mayor Hayward Proclaims Supply Chain Logistics Management Day

for the City of Pensacola

During halftime at the UWF vs Florida Tech football game, Mayor Ashton Hayward proclaimed October 20th as Supply Chain Logistics Management Day in the City of Pensacola. The day serves to raise awareness of the value of logistics and supply chain management education and professions in the city of Pensacola. During the game, several of the program's most successful alumni spoke with Mayor Hayward about the role UWF's Supply Chain Logistics Program played in launching their careers; as well as the great work they are doing to advance the Supply Chain Logistics field. Prior to the game, students, faculty, and alumni came together for a fun-filled afternoon of tailgating organized by the College of Business and Supply Chain Logistics Association.
