The goal of this program is to equip and expose students to STEM-Business LIT education through the NSF-Funded Logistics and International Trade (LIT) Analytics Center of Excellence @ UDC. In addition, the program goal is to foster student scholarship and research. In order to achieve these goals, we strive to conduct outreach to the local community, via conferences, undergraduate research, high school recruitment events, and social media outreach.
To provide STEM-Business focused Logistics and International Trade curriculum to UDC engineering and business undergraduates to become transformative leaders in government, nonprofit sectors, industry, and beyond.
LIT Analytics Center’s vision is to help students achieve their highest levels of human potential for future LIT related employment, promote faculty research and development opportunities, and develop a unique global network with collaborating institutions.
