Through this co-teaching experience, students could translate what they\u2019ve learned from their professors\u2019 lectures, activities, and readings into relevant and practical applications.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday afternoon nearly 70 students took a tour of Fastenal Headquarters, getting a unique glimpse of how staff and computerized machines process the nuts and bolts of this nuts and bolts operation! After the tour, students were invited to attend one of six tracks of interest (Sales, Marketing, Accounting\/Finance\/Economics, IT, HR\/Training\/Legal, or Supply Chain\/Procurement\/Product Development) and also listen to Executive VP and WSU Alum Bill Drazkowski weave stories of his career path with Fastenal with an overview of this Fortune 700 Company.<\/p>\n<p>The day ended with a casual networking event which included activities, games, prizes, food, resume critiques, and another opportunity for students to make one-on-one connections with Fastenal representatives.
