This challenge incorporates this essential philosophy of logistics into the new and innovative study of social logistics, which aims to introduce a social (human) factor in the systems and to apply logistics principles and methods in solving problems within society.

Inclusive in this experience will be student-only networking sessions and open office hours for the GBSN team and experts to assist students in solution development.
