CENTER VALLEY, Pa. ——Kriday Sharma在中国博彩平台(PSU-LV)开始他的大学生涯时，一直在寻找一段全面的经历。. An extrovert by nature, 夏尔马期待着充分利用校园提供的一切, he said.
夏尔马说:“我喜欢与人交谈和合作，这让我加入了一些团体。.
He was a member of the Debate Club, Business Society, and Student Government Association (SGA); later, 他被选为商业协会副会长和SGA会长. Rounding out his campus activities, 他是顾问委员会的当然成员，凭借他作为SGA主席的地位, and served on the Student Fee Board. Beyond PSU-LV, 他是大学公园联邦学生政府委员会(CCSG)的成员, serving as the financial manager in fall 2023.
He said he was moved to get involved thanks to the welcoming, 他在PSU-LV的校园里找到了包容的环境.
“在PSU-LV有一个健康的环境，工作人员真的鼓励你参与. You have a huge support network,” Sharma said. “你看到了变化——如果你推动了变化，你就更有可能看到它发生. 这也是我的哲学——保持活跃，保持忙碌，尽我所能做出积极的改变.”
He left a lasting impact as part of SGA. 他在任期间签署了六项立法，这是SGA主席的第一次.
Sharma has the same “can do” attitude toward academics. 他在PSU-LV主修供应链和项目管理，是2+2项目的一部分. Now in his third year at Penn State, 他在秋天转到大学公园的供应链和中国博彩平台系统项目. An introductory course taught by Mark Capofari, lecturer, project and supply chain management, 激起了夏尔马最初的兴趣，想要更多地了解这个蓬勃发展的行业.
“他的课程和授课方式——他是如何通过解释供应链运作的更深层次来‘推销’供应链的, really interested me,” Sharma said.
他在该领域的经验和兴趣使他获得了约翰逊的合作职位 & Johnson (J&J) this semester. He is an end-to-end co-op for the North America segment for J&J Innovative Medicine in the J&J Group of Companies.
“我正在协助整个端到端团队推出新产品，”他说. “If there are any new drugs J&J works on, my team assists with it.”
This is one aspect of his role. 他还协助业务卓越团队试图发现系统中的问题，并在优化流程的同时对其进行改进. Kriday周一到周五全职工作，向J&J的配送中心和总部分别位于新泽西州的萨默塞特和泰特斯维尔. He continues to take online courses as he works at his co-op. Besides working toward his degree, 他正在Smeal商学院学习房地产证书.
He brought a little bit of PSU-LV to his interview at J&J. On the last day of class, Maung Min, 副教授兼商业项目主任, 带了一些他挑选的领带给学生们.
“我们必须在1到100之间猜一个数字，这个数字必须和Dr. Min had in mind,” Sharma said. The student who guessed the correct number won a tie. 夏尔马是猜对数字的学生之一. 闵解释说，那条特殊的领带他已经戴了很多年了, “我希望你戴着这条领带去面试，找到一份很棒的工作.” Sharma wore this good-luck charm to his J&J interview.
夏尔马说，他从PSU-LV学到的最大的东西不仅仅是在课堂上.
“One thing I learned — your network is your net worth. I carry that with me. 这是一个很棒的建议，在很多不同的领域帮助了我. 只是走上去和人们交谈就能让你受益匪浅，”他说.
He initially was unsure whether he wanted to take the co-op, 但他关系网中的人帮助他说服了他这么做是正确的.
“Internships and co-ops are so important, 因为它们确实能让你从不同的角度看待企业世界,” he said.
夏尔马说，他利用在中国博彩平台磨练出来的技能，在工作中建立了不同的技能组合，这些技能是他在课堂上学不到的. 实习和合作社可以帮助你成为更好的求职者. There’s a lot of learning.”
Looking ahead, 夏尔马说，从中国博彩平台毕业后，他最终希望在J&J. 他的目标是创办自己的供应链相关企业, as is running for public office in some capacity, though that is “much further down the road,” he said.
Sharma说，他目前的成功和未来计划的大部分基础都是在PSU-LV奠定的.
“我喜欢它的一点是，它很小，但小尺寸让它更有风度. You know people, the staff knows you," he said. "They’re all there to help you, and it shows.”
