The Seidman ERP Program News
GVSU students attend SAP conference
May 14, 2015
Five Seidman College of Business students attended the worldwide
Sapphire Now (SAP) and Americas’ SAP Users’ Group (ASUG) conference
May 5-7 in Orlando, Florida.
The conference, which attracts business executives and industry
experts, highlighted new technologies shaping business today and
included information on SAP HANA, a new in-memory computing platform.
This is the first time Grand Valley students were invited to
attend. The students, who are part of the Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) program at Grand Valley, included Marissa Mushna, Kajal Magal,
Audrey Koons, Shannon Heynen and Ashley Mushna. The ERP program at
Grand Valley is one of the world’s leading programs where students
gain an understanding of integrated, cross-functional business process
experience using SAP® software.
“We wore University Alliance shirts all week at the conference
and were constantly stopped by people asking about it. That led to
several opportunities to discuss Grand Valley’s MIS (Management
Information Systems) program,” said Marissa Mushna. “It was an honor
to represent Grand Valley and be able to share my enthusiasm about our
program with professionals who want to recruit from our school. There
are so many different career paths for the MIS degree, and it was very
interesting to talk to people in all different paths to help me get an
understanding and find a direction of where I want to go when I graduate.”
The $2,500 cost of admission to the conference for students was
covered by SAP University Alliance, which connects students around the
world who are interested in SAP solutions, careers and research
opportunities. Students participated in classroom sessions, app
development and networking opportunities.
