米奇•彼得斯 describes himself as “very connected with the students” at the University of Nebraska at Kearney while also being “connected to industry.” For the members of 太阳城娱乐官网’s Industrial Distribution Organization, this is a powerful combination. 他对这个行业充满热情，这种热情包括对招聘、网络和职业发展在那些有朝一日将成为分销劳动力一部分的人的生活中的作用的理解。

彼得斯的背景是他以前的雇主的校园招聘人员，这使得他很容易与太阳城娱乐官网学生建立联系，他喜欢担任IDO的指导老师。 As a professor at 太阳城娱乐官网, Peters is, for ID students, the “first person they have in the classroom” thanks to the introductory courses he teaches. 

According to Layne Hudson, the current Vice-President of Communications for IDO, “the professors are great” and “very involved with IDO.” Hudson works hard “to make sure ID students are informed about all upcoming events and opportunities” available to them through this club. 学生们可以期待比每月在探索大厅举行的会议更多的东西。 每个月至少举行一次特别活动。 这些活动包括社区烧烤、信息之夜、brew Awakenings活动、校外活动、向行业合作伙伴学习的巴士旅行、尾随活动和校园招聘会。

对彼得斯来说，参与是他的ID学生完整大学经历的一个重要方面。 His aim is to “develop them into” the professionals “they can see themselves (as) after graduation,” but he also knows that his students “work hard Monday through Friday in the classroom” and that it’s important for them to “take a step back” to have some fun. The wide variety of activities he helps plan as IDO’s faculty advisor offers students the chance to know their professors on a more personal level.

It’s not only their professors that students need to connect with though. Peters stresses that another benefit of membership in IDO is the fact that it gets students “involved early, not only with other students but with employers.” He shares that IDO does “everything for a reason” allowing students to “have their destinies paved” by the time they reach their senior year. Peters helps achieve this by taking away the “what if” factor for students by building their skill sets, offering them opportunities for career advancement, and making paid internships available to them.

Steven Garcia, who is the current president of 太阳城娱乐官网’s IDO, shares that “the job placement within industrial distribution is second to none.” He credits this distinction to the “professors who teach (the) classes, as they have all worked in some form of (an) industrial sales role prior to serving as faculty members.” Garcia and Hudson both stress the need for 太阳城娱乐官网’s ID students to start networking early. 他们表示，学院的教授和成员将竭尽所能帮助学生为未来做好准备。 

彼得斯希望太阳城娱乐官网的学生知道，每个人都是受欢迎的。 事实上，每个学期，俱乐部都会在探索大厅举办2-3次信息发布会，回答问题并展示俱乐部所提供的一切。 After all, he understands that there are “very few industrial distribution programs in the nation” and that “Kearney is definitely the most affordable of all those.” He hopes to share this “rich history and track record” with future ID students.
