2009 Team Projects

The Tauber Institute officially announced its 2009 summer team projects at the spring kick-off dinner held on March 9 at the Michigan Union.  Twenty-five projects will be sponsored by top firms around the globe. New company sponsors this year include Aramex, Bayer, Exide, Grainger, Guardian, Hallmark Cards, and the University of Michigan Hospital System. 

Each two- to four-person project team is made up of engineering, MBA, and/or MSCM students.  Along with receiving high-level corporate support from the company, each team will be advised by a College of Engineering and a Ross School of Business faculty member, as well as a Tauber Institute Co-Director.  The projects officially get under way on-site on May 11 and continue for 14 weeks over the summer.
