| Project Synopsis: Challenge/Opportunity | Veolia North America is a leader in the energy and utilities sector, recognized for its commitment to sustainability and operational excellence. Despite its success, the company strives to optimize its procurement processes due to fragmented data. Currently, Veolia possesses foundational data, but the lack of a consolidated and cleansed repository hampers its ability to gain meaningful insights across suppliers, business units, and categories. This situation results in missed opportunities for cost savings, inefficiencies in supplier management, and suboptimal decision-making.

Spring 2026 Midterm Presentations
Required Action Item
The Midterm Presentation is a key milestone in your Capstone experience. It gives your team the opportunity to showcase your progress, clarify your project goals, and gather valuable feedback from your faculty advisor and School of Business staff. This is your chance to demonstrate your understanding of the challenge, the approach you’re taking, and any early insights you've uncovered. Clear communication and thoughtful analysis at this stage will help ensure a strong finish to your project in the second half of the semester. Treat it as both a checkpoint and a strategic opportunity to refine your work moving forward! Christina Alwell will coordinate with team leads in February to schedule the midterm presentations. These will take place in mid-March.
Team Leads: Please upload a copy of your team’s Midterm Presentation here. This submission helps us keep track of progress and ensure faculty and industry partners have access to your work.

Spring 2026 Final Presentations
Required Action Item
The Final Presentation is the culmination of your semester-long work and a chance to demonstrate the impact of your project. This is where your team presents your findings, recommendations, and overall contributions to your industry sponsor and faculty advisor. It’s not just about what you accomplished—it’s about how you approached the problem, collaborated as a team, and applied your skills to deliver meaningful outcomes. Think of it as your professional showcase: a polished, confident presentation that reflects your effort, growth, and real-world readiness. Take pride in what you've built and finish strong! Christina Alwell will coordinate with team leads in early April to schedule the final presentations. These will take place in early/mid May (last week of classes and/or final exam period).
Team Leads: Please upload a copy of your team’s Final Presentation here. This submission helps us keep track of progress and ensure faculty and industry partners have access to your work.
