News for alumni & friends
October 2020
Greetings from Ann Arbor -

Could your company use a brilliant and motivated student team to take on an operations challenge? Team project sponsor applications for 2021 are now open!

Many of our best team project champions are alumni. We would love to show your company what a multidisciplinary student team can do! The application deadline is December 1, but we can accommodate some timeline flexibility for first-time sponsors. Please contact me with your team project ideas for 2021 - and beyond.

Go blue!

"The University of Michigan and Tauber were both supportive of me and my family... in fact, we look back on our time in Michigan with fondness and my children often ask, 'When are we moving back to Michigan?!'"

"This recognition demonstrates Boeing’s ability to weave sustainability into all we do by moving from the world’s largest consumer of aerospace-grade composite without a plan for waste to today being the only company able to recycle 100% of its excess carbon fiber.”

This month, the National Association of Manufacturers saluted Boeing’s carbon fiber recycling initiative as the highest achiever among sustainability leaders. The award recognizes the ongoing efforts that were launched by the 2015 Tauber project team of Akul Bali (EGL BSE-EE/MSE-IOE), Kelsea Ballantyne (MBA & MS-NRE), and Martha Neubauer (EGL BSE-ChE/MSE-IOE). Akul now works for Google BizOps, Martha is a Senior Analyst for AeroDynamic Advisory, and Kelsea is a Leader of BDS Operations Analytics for Boeing.
