Mr. Weiger, (ITC’s Scholarship Chairperson)
“I want to express my gratitude to you and the Indianapolis Transportation Club once again for the generous education support provided to me this year. The assistance provided helps reduce the enormous weight of funding higher education which often is more laborious than investing the time. I feel the most significant part of this award and experience is the inspiration I felt seeing how you and the leadership have answered the call of service. Your leadership has acted as a guiding post in my quest to make the world better than I find it each day.”

Sincerely,
​Larry Thomas

Where are they now? Letters from ITC Scholarship Recipients

ITC Scholarship Recipient (2011)
Lisa Engle
Supply Chain Projects Manager
Rolls-Royce North America


When I was given the honor of receiving the ITC scholarship in 2011, it was around the same time that I found my passion for Supply Chain. I entered the IUPUI Kelley School of business as a marketing major, but after taking only 1 supply chain class, I quickly changed my major to include Supply Chain. From there I went to become the president of the Operations Supply Chain Management (OSCM) Club for the Kelley School and jumped head first into the Supply Chain world of networking and exploring the opportunities. That is when I found the ITC organization and all the wonderful people, knowledge, and opportunities the organization offered. During the dinner ceremony for the scholarship, I heard one of the most influential speeches for my career, and to this day talk about. INDOT came and spoke about the changes that are happening and will be happening in order for Indianapolis to embrace the “Cross Roads of America”. That night, with networking with Supply Chain professionals and listening to the speaker, kicked started my passion and career for Supply Chain.
Upon graduation I accepted an offer with Rolls-Royce to join their Supply Chain Graduate development program, which is an 18 month program of completing 3-6 month rotations in the areas of supply chain. This was an exciting start to my professional career because I worked in manufacturing, supply chain design, logistics, and had the great opportunity to live aboard to understand the global aspect of supply chain. At the end of the 18 months I happily accepted a full-time position with Rolls-Royce as a Defense Supply Chain Designer. In this role I was an analyst that pulled together supply chain data to support the feasibility and implementation of supply chain projects for Defense. In this role I interacted with the entire value stream from procurement to delivering engines to the customer. This role gave me the foundation to understanding the business and applying supply chain principles including project management. Recently I have been promoted into my current role of Supply Chain Project Manager. In this role I am responsible for Supply Chain and Value Stream Design activities and associated Business Change Projects for the regional Defense business that will be focused on Delivery, Cost and Inventory initiatives across the respective value streams.
I want to thank ITC and all their members for all their kindness and support that has helped me early in my career.

ITC Scholarship Recipient (2017)
Mahamadou Serki


Coming from a third world nation, getting a higher education here is a lifetime opportunity. Although integrating to the society is somewhat challenging, I was determined to get my education going. I have always been inspired by the transportation industry and believe that having a career in the field will be cool. To make my dream come true, I went on to get an associate degree in Supply Chain and Logistics Management from Ivy Tech Community College of Indianapolis in fall 2015, and transferred to Kelley School of Business at IUPUI where I am currently pursuing a Bachelor in Supply Chain Management. I planned to graduate in May 2019 but winning the ITC scholarship made a significant contribution to my academic year, and gave me the opportunity to enroll in more courses this year, so that I can graduate in December of this Year.
My post-graduation plans consist of seeking a job in transportation field and spending quality times with my wife, son, and daughter. I am also planning on going back to get my MBA at Kelley, a couple of years later.
I appreciate the Indianapolis Transportation Club for their contribution in my education and overall contributions to our community at large. I encourage my fellow students to apply for this great scholarship and hope to be part of the contributors in the near future.

​At the core of the ITC is a love for the transportation and logistics industry and its future. Because of our generous members, and the money raised at ITC events, the club gives back by focusing on deserving students majoring in these fields. The Indianapolis Transportation Club has been among the longest supporters for the Kelley School’s programs in Indianapolis. This year, the ITC is being recognized as the Kelley School’s Spirit of Philanthropy nominee in 2018.


Each year, the IUPUI campus hosts the Spirit of Philanthropy Luncheon to recognize volunteers and donors who have been supportive in helping the individual academic units achieve its goals. This year’s luncheon will be held at the Indiana Roof Ballroom in April.
ITC Members: Thank you so much for your continued generosity in raising money for the ITC Scholarship Fund! Your event registration fees and donations raise money for the awarded scholarships each year.
