Knowing what a bank is and how a bank operates are two very different things. Through the WesBanco Externship program, Chambers College students like me were able to experience the culture, understand the challenges, and define the details of a local relational bank.

The externship began with a dinner at WesBanco’s office where we were encouraged to network with WesBanco employees, allowing us to make connections that lasted beyond the externship.

When I first entered college, I viewed supply chains as simply getting goods from Point A to Point B. As a supply chain major, I quickly realized how complex they really are, especially after participating in last year’s Race to the Case competition at Pittsburgh University.
When Dr. Saldanha invited me to participate in the Pittsburgh Case Competition, I knew that this was a perfect opportunity to place myself in a positive learning environment with peers from various universities. During the competition, my teammates and I – coming from the Supply Chain and Industrial Engineering programs – worked together to apply what we knew from both our studies and industry experience to solve a case specifically created for the event.
