What happens when curiosity turns into a career?

For Abu Amin, it started with a research project as an undergraduate student. The experience of asking a question, gathering data and contributing new knowledge sparked a passion that continues to shape his teaching and research today.

Now a finance professor at Central Michigan University, Amin explores questions related to corporate governance, accountability, sustainability and ethical decision-making. But what I found most interesting in our conversation was how closely he connects those ideas to student success.

"I want students to think critically about corporate behavior, governance, and accountability, the same questions that drive my research," he said.

His advice for students is refreshingly simple: Stay curious. Work hard. Be humble. Embrace AI, but remember that technology is only part of the equation.

As Amin puts it, "AI amplifies the person using it. Technology changes; good judgment and integrity do not."

What happens when students help shape the future of their college?

The CMU College of Business Administration’s Dean’s Student Advisory Board gives students a direct voice in conversations about student experience, leadership and the future of the college.

Members of the board collaborate with college leadership, share feedback, explore solutions and help represent the perspectives of their peers across the CBA community.

“I joined the Dean’s student advisory board to help make the place I love, Grawn Hall, a better place for students so they can feel like they belong,” said Jaclyn Serazio, a marketing and logistics management student. “I knew that my voice as a student would be heard on this board and I could make a positive impact on my learning environment.”

This spring, students also connected with alumni and business leaders during a networking lunch held alongside the Executive Advisory Board’s campus visit to CMU. We've included a few highlight photos.

What happens when classroom learning meets real-world supply chain experience?

CMU alumnus Chris Savelle, a Global Supply Manager at Lucid Motors, returned to campus this spring to speak with SCMA members about global logistics, automotive supply chains and the realities of working in a rapidly changing industry.

From navigating disruptions and shifting freight routes to discussing the importance of curiosity, adaptability and professional relationships, Savelle helped students connect classroom concepts to the decisions shaping global supply chains every day.

Through workshops like this, students gain more than industry insight, they build connections that help bridge the gap between college and career.
