2020 Graduate, Marketing

Kathryn Mlodzienski was selected for an internship with Metalicious, an online custom jewelry company based in New York City.

2019 Graduate, Marketing and Project and Supply Chain Management

“The Behrend Marketing and Project and Supply Chain Management programs have given Kevin a good background in essential business processes when it comes to marketing and selling to finance and supply chain executives. This knowledge and acumen have helped him stand out in his role at Oracle as a Business Development Consultant. Kevin is able to speak intelligently and thoughtfully about how our team can help large health-care providers fix complex business problems. As a regional manager, I’m optimistic about hiring another Penn State Behrend graduate because I know the education will prepare that person for ultimate success within Oracle.”
