ABSTRACT: The aim of this research isto discover how the effects of global emergencies such as Covid-19 affect graduating supply chainmanagementstudents. Global emergencies cause issues and can completely disrupt supply chains. It is hypothesized that since supply chain students may be of help in aiding these supply chains that they may currently or eventually be of higher need and value. Global disasters are full of uncertainties and it is unknown how an event on the scale of Covid-19 will influence employment decisions made by supply chain employers. Uncertainty can be worrisome and cause stress, so it is the goal of this project to remove some ofthose unknownand anxiety surrounding finding employment and to also figure out what employers are looking for in students during these critical times.
