Dr. Jones Attains CSCP Certification
The Northeastern State University College of Business was proud to support faculty member Dr. Stephanie Jones to become a Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP). Dr. Jones is the Program Coordinator for the Human Resource discipline and began teaching full time at NSU in Fall 2020 after being an adjunct faculty member since 2015.
With fifteen years of industry experience including owning her own trucking company for eight years, Dr. Jones has a vast amount of knowledge she brings to the NSU program. She also served in the military for six years prior to teaching. After furthering her education with her MBA and Masters of Human Resource Administration, Dr. Jones completed her Doctorate in Project Management. Owning her own business allowed her to learn not only about the transportation industry, but also the wider supply chain management field.
Dr. Jones has enjoyed her time teaching at NSU and having the opportunity to connect with students and the wider NSU community. The unique knowledge she has acquired from her various ventures has made her an asset to NSU. The College of Business offered Dr. Jones the chance to attain CSCP, in order to increase her own skills while also improving the supply chain management course at NSU.
Known as one of the more rigorous certifications to undertake, Dr. Jones began preparing for the exam at the beginning of 2023 and sat for the Pierson proctored exam on March 8. She passed the exam earning her CSCP designation.
The certification is delivered through the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM). By completing the CSCP, Dr. Jones is a member of the non-profit organization which provides the option for further training and access to industry professionals. These connections will be useful for future experiential learning opportunities and academic partnerships, giving students more exposure to real world scenarios.
The College of Business continues to support faculty members in continuing their education and staying up to date with industry developments in the marketplace. We believe this provides the best education for students to be prepared for the workplace upon graduation and make a positive impact.
