Farmer School faculty brought students with them to a pair of conferences last week.

Tim Kolp, Zayla Yarbrough, and Keshon Woods joined Darryl Rice at the Southern Management Association’s pre-doctoral student consortium in St. Petersburg, Fla.

“They met and interacted with wide range of current PhD students and professors as they learned more about pursuing a PhD in Management and ultimately the lifestyle of a business school professor,” Rice said. “I have received so many compliments from my colleagues and friends about them, their level of engagement, and questions that they are asking.”

Monique Murfield brought Marissa Marquardt, Kaylin Knapp, Alexandra Laskonis and Sarah Norton to the Women Impacting Supply Chain Excellence Future Leaders Symposium at the University of Arkansas.

“This is the 5th year I’ve been able to participate with students, and this was the biggest event yet with 135 students from 28 universities,” Murfield said. “I’m feeling super thankful that part of my job includes mentoring young professionals and leading them to new experiences.”

“We have a saying that our students are #BeyondReady and our students continue to embody this,” Rice said. “More and more people in business and other universities are discovering we have some of the best students on the planet!!!”
