As a military-affiliated student, Hannah Schield ’19 has lived in three states and attended four colleges over the past five years in her pursuit to obtain a degree. Her hard work will come to fruition when Schield receives her business administration degree with a concentration in supply chain management from the Cameron School of Business.
 
"Once the requirements of my degree are completed, what ultimately matters are not the courses listed on my transcript, but the sensibilities and habits of mind that I bring to my work, friends, family, and indeed, the rest of my life,” said Schield.
According to Schield, who is CSB’s “Outstanding Graduate” for the school of business and within the supply chain program, the knowledge she has gained during her studies brings immense value to organizations.

Over the past ten years, I have had a number of unique opportunities to travel and work with many highly successful organizations and global leaders. More recently, I interviewed more than one-hundred of these leaders, asking how they anticipate trends, grow their businesses and deliver results. People often ask me, what advice can you share? In this particular article, I would like to highlight just a few nuggets of advice shared with me throughout these interviews.

A mysterious message appears on the server screen stating that for some price, you can regain access to your servers and data. WHAT IS HAPPENING? It’s called ransomware, and it is a growing concern among corporate and personal cybersecurity practitioners.
