The Canadian National (CN) Rail has donated a gift of USD 50,000 to the Supply Chain Management MBA program offered at the GSU College of Business.
This gift will fund scholarships for students who pursue the Supply Chain Management program online, as well as undergraduates who study the same subject.
This is the second gift by CN Rail. The initial gift was used to furnish the classroom for the program, which is a video conference room, as well as to fund eight USD 2,500 fellowships for Supply Chain Management students.
“We’re pleased to have CN’s support for scholarships and for online course development,’’ said GSU President Elaine P. Maimon.
The conference room is regularly used for other administrative and teaching purposes across GSU.
The gift was presented by CN's Jim Kvedaras and the college’s alumnus. Kvedaras is also a member of the COB Dean’s Advisory Board and is director of CN’s North America Government Affairs.

This is delivered through cultural enrichment activities and peer mentoring. GSU also provides students with short-term summer programs.

Chicago is a city built around neighborhoods, where students are sure to find a community consisting of people who know and speak their language, serve their food, and understand their culture. And the university will help the students find them.
The city is a place to have fun as well, with several festivals dotting the calendar, especially in the summer and the fall.
