Read how Muhlenberg alum, Jeff Miller, an associate director of materials management at B. Braun Medical, Inc., Bethlehem, credits his success to the School of Continuing Studies:

Jeff Miller currently handles everything related to the supply chain for the manufacturing operations of B. Braun Medical, Inc.

"I am responsible for three departments' planning operations, purchasing and warehouse operations, scheduling production, ordering of materials to meet the schedule and receiving and transferring the materials to the production floor," Miller said.

With 30 years in purchasing and materials management, Miller said additional schooling was necessary to obtain a director position or above.

"I researched adult programs at schools," Miller said. "What I liked about Muhlenberg was the fact they had a concentration and a degree program based on supply chain management."

Miller said the supply chain is the hub of every organization–research and development, finance, engineering, manufacturing, sales and marketing.

"The program at Muhlenberg teaches you how to be a team player and interact with others. I like the fact what I learned is applicable to my current job. I can apply those lessons to a real-world environment."

Along with the education piece, Miller said an emphasis is on life experience to be accepted into the program.

"It's a demanding program from an academic perspective yet you still have time to work and be with your family," Miller said.

For Miller, he said he could apply at least one takeaway from every module in the degree program to apply to his current workplace.

"I enjoyed the program and the instructors were great. I would highly recommend it."
