Long-term issues to close doors at Presentation College

Presentation is offering ‘teach-out’ agreements with other institutions to accept current students without needing an application or increase in tuition costs.

This comes as the Aberdeen college prepares to permanent close its doors later this year.

College president Paula Langteau said it’s part of administration’s effort to put people first through the transition.

“We take very seriously our commitment to our students, our faculty, and our staff, and we’re doing everything in our power to make sure we take care of individuals through this difficult and trying transition,” Langteau said.

Langteau, who arrived at Presentation in 2019, said the closure is the result of longstanding financial and enrollment issues.

“We streamlined leadership, renegotiated vendor contracts, reduced operating budgets, really brought down our budgets to about two and a half million dollars – and things were starting to look better, our accounts payable was up to date. Things were turning around," Langteau said. "At that time, as you know, COVID hit. That was the spring of 2020. That has been devastating for our institution.”

Langteau said the Presentation Sisters are now looking ahead to the future.

“While we mourn the loss of all the things that are no longer going to be, we also recognize – I think sister Marion said it best when she said the Presentation Sisters pride themselves that they evolve with the times, and we are moving to see more online education,” Langteau said.

Currently, Presentation College students can enroll through teach-outs at Dakota Wesleyan, Dickinson State, Olivet College, St. Ambrose University, and the University of Mary.

Losing skid is over, but Presentation's next opponent, Concordia, will offer tough test

There's a tough opponent coming to Aberdeen Saturday, but the Presentation College football team certainly deserves a moment to savor last weekend's victory.

With a convincing 29-6 road win against Luther College, the Saints snapped a 23-game losing streak that dated back to November 2019.

It was an emotional and exciting moment, said Presentation head coach Steve Heimann, who admitted he broke down a bit during a post-game interview.

"I jokingly said that in the middle of the fourth quarter I couldn't coach anymore, I was useless," Heimann said Wednesday.

Luther mascot trophy broken after victory

The Saints have trophies with the opposing schools' mascots on them. After a win, the trophies are broken. The Norse trophy was destroyed Saturday much the way the Luther football team was.

"The guys got me with the water cooler, which was fun," Heimann said.

And then it was a seven-and-a-half-hour bus ride back from Decorah, Iowa, to Aberdeen.

A happy haul, but not exactly party central.

Heimann said Presentation played complimentary football against the Norse. When the offense was struggling, the defense came up big and vice versa.

Heimann's first few season at Presentation were rough ones

He and his staff took over the football program at the end of June 2019. That's pretty late in the game to get a team prepared for fall. A 51-35 win at Mayville Sate was the lone victory that season, which was followed by a strange 2020 COVID-19 season. Last year, he said, felt like the first normal year for the coaching staff.

The last few seasons have been rough ones, Heimann admitted.

Now, he hopes the Saints can build off of a win. The triumph should be a confidence builder for a few weeks, Heimann said. He said it offers players evidence that the coaching staff's concepts work and helps build belief. Confidence and belief are traits the team might have been lacking, he said.

Saturday, the Saints face Concordia College-Moorhead, a traditionally strong opponent. That's the reward for last weekend's win.

The Cobblers are 1-0 after defeating Valley City State 14-12 on Sept. 1.

Concordia features up-tempo offense, physical defense

Concordia is a big, physical, disciplined and well-coached football team, Heimann said. The Cobblers try to run an up-tempo offense with lots of screens and quick passes, so the Presentation defense will have to be ready for that pace, he said.

The Saints aren't the biggest team on the defensive side of the ball and rely on stunts and blitzes to badger the opposing quarterback, which will be important Saturday, Heimann said

On defense, Concordia is sound and physical, he said, and Presentation will aim for about a 50/50 split of running and passing.

The Saints will need to be better on special teams and finish drives to hang with the Cobblers, Heimann said. Against Luther, Presentation had a 20-play, 96-yard drive that lasted more than eight minutes, but resulted in no points. The coach took blame for deciding to go for it on fourth down from the Luther one. After an incomplete pass, Presentation turned the ball over.

However, the defense took advantage of Luther's poor field position and recorded a safety. Then, after the Norse kicked off, the Saints scored a touchdown to take a 16-6 lead into halftime.

Sophomore quarterback Kaeden Frazier passed for 306 yards and two touchdowns against the Norse and was named the North Star Athletic Association offensive player of the week.

Kickoff against Concordia is set for 7 p.m. at Brownell Activities Complex, formally Swisher Field, at Central High School.

Northern hits the road against Wayne State

After a resounding season-opening victory, the task also gets tougher for the Northern State University football team this weekend.

The Wolves will play at Wayne State at 6 p.m. Saturday in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference action.

Northern opened with a 30-0 victory over Upper Iowa on Sept. 1 at Dacotah Bank Stadium. The Wildcats downed the University of Mary 33-28 Saturday in Bismarck, N.D.

The game was close throughout, but Wayne State sealed the victory when running back Anthony Watkins scored from 10 yards out with 1:46 to play.

To say the Wildcats offense was balanced is probably an understatement. They collected 196 yards rushing the ball and 195 passing and will pose a greater offensive threat than the Peacocks did.

However, the Wayne State defense yielded 451 yards to the Marauders, including 300 in the air. It was only one game, but that number was not likely missed by Northern head coach Mike Schmidt, first-year starting quarterback Michael Bonds, the receiving corps and the rest of the staff.

After struggling last fall, the Northern defense was dominant against Upper Iowa. Wayne State should help the Wolves better sort out just how much the D has improved since the 2021 campaign.

Chiefs' Harrison Butker blasted for commencement speech encouraging women to be homemakers

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has aggravated one of the internet's biggest culture wars by telling a class of college graduates that one of the “most important” titles a woman can hold is homemaker.

During a commencement speech last weekend at Benedictine College, a Catholic liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas, the NFL player railed against abortion, Pride month and Covid-19 lockdown measures.

Drawing the most viral backlash this week, however, was a section of his speech in which he addressed the female graduates specifically — telling them that it’s women who have had “the most diabolical lies” told to them.

“How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world,” Butker said. “But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”

The criticisms that followed took aim at Butker as well as the NFL.

"Hey @NFL — If you want to continue to grow your female fan base and any other marginalized group (straight white men are already watching your product), come get your boy," wrote Lisa Guerrero, a former NFL sideline reporter and now an investigative journalist for "Inside Edition."

He went on to tell the graduates that his wife would agree that her life “truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.” It is her embrace of this role, he said, that made his own professional success possible.

Butker’s comments share similarities with some of the more extreme ideas around gender roles that have gained traction in communities that promote “ tradwife ” lifestyles or other relationship dynamics that center on traditional gender roles .

“Listen, there’s nothing wrong with his wife being a homemaker. Homemakers are wonderful, that’s not the point,” filmmaker Michael McWhorter, known by his more than 6 million TikTok followers as TizzyEnt, said in a video response. “The point is he seemed to be acting as if you should be ashamed if you don’t want to be a homemaker, or, ‘I know what you really want to do is just stay home and have babies.’"

The speech was the latest incident to add fuel to the flames of this increasingly vocal cultural battle, much of which is playing out online. While many prominent right-wing men have voiced such beliefs before, they’re usually confined to internet forums, podcasts and other online communities where these ideologies thrive.

A spokesperson for Butker did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Benedictine College and the Kansas City Chiefs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A spokesperson for the NFL told People Magazine that Butker "gave a speech in his personal capacity" and his "views are not those of the NFL as an organization."

"The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger," a spokesperson told the publication.

Butker, who is teammates with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, further drew surprise and criticism when he quoted Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, whose monumental career success as a global pop star has inspired college courses .

“As my teammate’s girlfriend says, ‘familiarity breeds contempt,’” he said, drawing murmurs from the crowd as he used the “Bejeweled” lyric as an analogy for why Catholic priests should not become “overly familiar” with their parishioners.

In the days since his speech, a Change.org petition for the Chiefs to dismiss Butker for “discriminatory remarks” has garnered nearly 19,000 signatures.

“These comments reinforce harmful stereotypes that threaten social progress,” the petition stated. “They create a toxic environment that hinders our collective efforts towards equality, diversity and inclusion in society. It is unacceptable for such a public figure to use their platform to foster harm rather than unity.”

Those who criticized Butker’s speech online include actor Bradley Whitford as well as DJ and rapper (and self-proclaimed Swiftie ) Flavor Flav .

But his speech was also lauded by some on the religious right, including conservative sports media personalities such as Clay Travis and Jason Whitlock , who defended Butker’s statements toward women.

“Not a word Harrison Butker says here should be remotely controversial. He’s 100% correct,” former NFL wide receiver T.J. Moe posted on X . “Those trying to convince women that being assistant VP of lending & intentionally childless at age 40 is more fulfilling than making a family and home are evil.”

Sports and culture commentator Jon Root also posted that Butker “exposed the lies that the world has been telling women.” Women, he wrote, are wrongly encouraged to climb the corporate ladder, view children as a “burden” and see marriage as “not worth pursuing.”

Still, a deluge of viewers online took issue with his attitude toward women and the LGBTQ community. Many women also rejected the premise that they would be happier staying at home in lieu of paid work, even if they do have a husband and children.

“I am moved. I actually had no idea that my life began when I met my husband,” neurosurgeon Betsy Grunch, known as Ladyspinedoc on TikTok, said sarcastically in a TikTok video . “It did not begin when I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Georgia with honors. It certainly did not begin when I graduated with a 4.0 GPA, Alpha Omega Alpha, from medical school. And I had no idea that it did not begin when I completed my residency in neurosurgery.”

How to price sponsored posts as a college athlete and more NIL takeaways from an influencer-marketing presentation

• Rachel Maeng Brown is a former NCAA rower who now works with student-athletes at her firm Gen Agency.
• The agency has provided NIL education and consulting to college athletes, collectives, and schools.
• Brown shared a presentation with five strategies to help athletes price and negotiate brand deals.

Knowing your worth is a struggle many college athletes face now that they can make money from their name, image, and likeness, known as NIL.

To help athletes understand their value, influencer-marketing-and-production company Gen Agency has been educating and consulting college athletes on NIL.

"Our big focus is creating a sustainable NIL marketplace at each university," Rachel Maeng Brown, the founder and CEO of Gen agency, told Business Insider.

Brown, a former NCAA rower, said the NIL side of Gen Agency educates universities to help them build curriculums. The agency also offers athletes on-site and virtual workshops about NIL marketing.

In April, Gen Agency hosted its first NIL-educational summit for University of Michigan influencers in partnership with Reach , a student-driven organization helping content creators grow their platforms and connect with brands. The presentation, which was shared with BI, covered how athletes can understand their audience, price sponsored content, post properly on social media, and protect themselves with a contract.

The summit also featured a panel of guest speakers, including former NFL player Isaiah Johnson . Johnson told BI that social-media followers and engagement are more important to brands who work with athletes than on-field performance.

"Followers, everyone wants to know how many people are following you and then two, just how genuine you are," he said. "If you are genuinely using a product, this could be a wonderful fit."

Johnson said athletes with the best media presence are natural and real with their followers. He said sports fans love behind-the-scenes footage they can not get from somewhere else, like athletes' day-in-the-life videos.

Here are five key slides from Gen Agency's NIL presentation on how athletes can brand themselves and negotiate fair pay:

Learn about your audience

Brown said knowing your target audience is key to working with brands. It helps companies understand who they can reach by recruiting you. 

During the summit, Brown showed athletes where to find key stats on their Instagram audiences, including follower count and growth, location, age, and gender.

A formula athletes can use to estimate the price of a brand deal

The presentation offered a formula student-athletes can use to calculate how much to charge brands for a sponsored post. It's based on a $10 CPM, which refers to the cost per every 1,000 impressions, though CPMs can vary.

To calculate what to charge per post, take the average number of views over the last 30 days and divide it by 1,000. Then take that figure and multiply it by the CPM.

Using that math, an athlete with 600,000 average views over the last days would charge $6,000 per post, based on a $10 CPM, per the presentation's example.

Know your copyright rules

Athletes, like other influencers, need to comply with brand, platform, and regulatory guidelines for social-media posts and ads, such as copyright rules and what kind of content is permitted on a platform.

Student-athletes also need to abide by NCAA rules because posting inappropriate content can result in losing scholarships, eligibility, and future career opportunities, according to the NCAA .

Brown said college athletes should also exercise caution and not include other brands or anything illegal in a sponsored post. She advised double-checking the spelling before posting, too.

Dos and don'ts for sponsored posts

The agency also emphasized the importance of double-checking disclosures for paid ads, partnerships, and more so athletes do not have to delete or redo sponsored videos.

"This is really important to student-athletes as well as smaller influencers because a lot of brands will try to bully them," said Brown, "to say, 'You don't need to put hashtag. You don't need to disclose that we're sponsored.' But it's actually illegal across social media."

She said failing to disclose a sponsored post could result in an athlete's account being banned or messing up their average views and algorithm.

Things to know about payment

Brown also talked about contracts and W-9s, which are tax forms for independent contractors. The presentation emphasized in capital letters that athletes need a contract to make sure they get paid for their work.

They should also be mindful of terms such as "usage" and "ownership" because it could mean their videos could be posted on any social-media channel or site.

Brown said brands are not going to protect the athletes, so they need to look out for themselves.

Aberdeen hopes to keep Presentation College employees

ABERDEEN, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - Presentation College employs 125 staff members, which means that the Aberdeen workforce will decrease when the college closes in August.

To help their employees find new positions, Presentation will be holding a Career Fair on January 30th and 31st.

”We’re bringing in institutions of higher education from across the region who are coming to campus. In the morning, they will be having the Career Fair for faculty and staff. In advance, I’ve asked them to send me a list of the employment opportunities they have available so I can send it out to faculty and staff,” said Presentation College President Paula Langteau.

Dr. Langteau says Presentation will also host a job fair later this spring for careers outside of academics.

For employees like Presentation College head football coach Steve Heimann, the future is unknown. Heimann is more concerned about the fate of his athletes and assistants at the moment.

”For me right now, the mission is to get the staff and the players homed, and then sort of figure out what’s next from there, and we have time to do that. As far as myself, personally, I don’t know. We’ll see what comes of it. I’ve had a lot of conversations trying to help our staff find a new place, trying to help our players find a new place. Right now, that’s really the mission,” said Heimann.

The city, however, is hoping most of the faculty and staff choose to stay in Aberdeen, but with one less higher learning institution in the Hub City, finding academic work might be difficult.

“I think that our community has 125 jobs to offer, but some of these people are so specific. I know that some of the people in groundskeeping and maintenance and that kind of thing have already transitioned into other positions. We’re glad to have those people, but we’ll be sad to see the ones that have to pursue other opportunities in academics have to leave this community,” said Aberdeen Mayor Travis Schaunaman.

Mayor Schaunaman says there are other opportunities in Aberdeen outside of academics that could keep workers in the community.

”Some of the people that have really specific academic curriculum jobs are going to have a tough time finding work here in Aberdeen that suits those purposes. We’re hoping that they stick around and that they choose to do something else that’s maybe similar, but not exactly the same,” said Schaunaman.

Presentation College offered multiple nursing programs, and Schaunaman hopes those rural healthcare professionals help fill open positions in the medical field.

”The medical industry right now is hiring. They’ve got a lot of open positions. So, it was really nice to have a nursing program here in Aberdeen to be able to offer a workforce to the two hospitals, and I think that a lot of these people with nursing backgrounds and that kind of a thing will easily be able to find employment here, should they choose to stay,” said Schaunaman.

Presentation College is guaranteeing their staff employment through May, and is offering staggered end dates and final compensation based upon their responsibilities.

Presentation College announces Paula Langteau as new president

Presentation College’s board of trustees has named Paula Langteau as the college’s next president.

She had been serving as interim president since October and will assume the role of president immediately, according to a Thursday news release from the college.

“The members of the Presentation College community, and the Aberdeen community in general, are very familiar with Dr. Langteau. Instead of engaging in a traditional national search, the board of trustees made the decision to find a dynamic leader to serve the institution on an interim basis. That person was Dr. Paula Langteau,” David Giovannini, chairman of Presentation’s board of trustees said in the release. “Upon her arrival, we outlined a number of goals for her to achieve within a six-month period of time. Dr. Langteau not only achieved those goals but surpassed them, and she did so in a way that was collaborative and gained the trust of not only the board of trustees, but the Presentation Community as a whole, leading to today’s unanimous decision.”

Langteau succeeds Margaret “Maggie” Huber, who served at Presentation as president from 2012 and announced her retirement in August.

“I am honored to be named president of Presentation College,” Langteau said in the release. “I am simultaneously humbled and overwhelmed with pride to be working with the college’s dedicated faculty and staff, and board of trustees, committed to the mission and values inspired by the work of the Presentation Sisters.”

Langteau has 30 years of higher education experience. She previously served as the campus executive officer at the University of Wisconsin-Marinette and Bemidji State University’s Northwest Technical College campus in Minnesota.

She also served as principal consultant for Academic Game Changers Consulting, providing leadership and program consulting for institutions of higher education. In other previous roles she has served as dean of instruction at Nicolet College in Wisconsin and as director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at Georgia Perimeter College in Georgia. She began her career as an English instructor at Ball State University in Indiana.

Governor Newsom Unveils Revised State Budget, Prioritizing Balanced Solutions for a Leaner, More Efficient Government

Para leer este comunicado en español, haga clic aquí .

The Budget Proposal — Covering Two Years — Cuts Spending, Makes Government Leaner, and Preserves Core Services Without New Taxes on Hardworking Californians

Watch Governor Newsom’s May Revise presentation here

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The Governor’s revised budget proposal closes both this year’s remaining $27.6 billion budget shortfall and next year’s projected $28.4 billion deficit while preserving many key services that Californians rely on — including education, housing, health care, and food assistance.

SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today released a May Revision proposal for the 2024-25 fiscal year that ensures the budget is balanced over the next two fiscal years by tightening the state’s belt and stabilizing spending following the tumultuous COVID-19 pandemic, all while preserving key ongoing investments.

Under the Governor’s proposal, the state is projected to achieve a positive operating reserve balance not only in this budget year but also in the next. This “budget year, plus one” proposal is designed to bring longer-term stability to state finances without delay and create an operating surplus in the 2025-26 budget year.

In the years leading up to this May Revision, the Newsom Administration recognized the threats of an uncertain stock market and federal tax deadline delays – setting aside $38 billion in reserves that could be utilized for shortfalls. That has put California in a strong position to maintain fiscal stability.

Even when revenues were booming, we were preparing for possible downturns by investing in reserves and paying down debts – that’s put us in a position to close budget gaps while protecting core services that Californians depend on. Without raising taxes on Californians, we’re delivering a balanced budget over two years that continues the progress we’ve fought so hard to achieve, from getting folks off the streets to addressing the climate crisis to keeping our communities safe.

Governor Gavin Newsom

Below are the key takeaways from Governor Newsom’s proposed budget:

A BALANCED BUDGET OVER TWO YEARS. The Governor is solving two years of budget problems in a single budget, tightening the state’s belt to get the budget back to normal after the tumultuous years of the COVID-19 pandemic. By addressing the shortfall for this budget year — and next year — the Governor is eliminating the 2024-25 deficit and eliminating a projected deficit for the 2025-26 budget year that is $27.6 billion (after taking an early budget action) and $28.4 billion respectively.

CUTTING SPENDING, MAKING GOVERNMENT LEANER. Governor Newsom’s revised balanced state budget cuts one-time spending by $19.1 billion and ongoing spending by $13.7 billion through 2025-26. This includes a nearly 8% cut to state operations and a targeted elimination of 10,000 unfilled state positions, improving government efficiency and reducing non-essential spending — without raising taxes on individuals or proposing state worker furloughs. The budget makes California government more efficient, leaner, and modern — saving costs by streamlining procurement, cutting bureaucratic red tape, and reducing redundancies.

PRESERVING CORE SERVICES & SAFETY NETS. The budget maintains service levels for key housing, food, health care, and other assistance programs that Californians rely on while addressing the deficit by pausing the expansion of certain programs and decreasing numerous recent one-time and ongoing investments.

NO NEW TAXES & MORE RAINY DAY SAVINGS. Governor Newsom is balancing the budget by getting state spending under control — cutting costs, not proposing new taxes on hardworking Californians and small businesses — and reducing the reliance on the state’s “Rainy Day” reserves this year.

HOW WE GOT HERE: California’s budget shortfall is rooted in two separate but related developments over the past two years.

• First, the state’s revenue, heavily reliant on personal income taxes including capital gains, surged in 2021 due to a robust stock market but plummeted in 2022 following a market downturn. While the market bounced back by late 2023, the state continued to collect less tax revenue than projected in part due to something called “capital loss carryover,” which allows losses from previous years to reduce how much an individual is taxed.
• Second, the IRS extended the tax filing deadline for most California taxpayers in 2023 following severe winter storms, delaying the revelation of reduced tax receipts. When these receipts were able to eventually be processed, they were 22% below expectations. Without the filing delay, the revenue drop would have been incorporated into last year’s budget and the shortfall this year would be significantly smaller.

CALIFORNIA’S ECONOMY REMAINS STRONG: The Governor’s revised balanced budget sets the state up for continued economic success. California’s economy remains the 5th largest economy in the world and for the first time in years, the state’s population is increasing and tourism spending recently experienced a record high. California is #1 in the nation for new business starts , #1 for access to venture capital funding , and the #1 state for manufacturing , high-tech , and agriculture .

ASU sustainability students tackle hotel food waste

Graduating seniors from the School of Sustainability , a unit of the College of Global Futures at Arizona State University, showcased their innovative solutions for real-world sustainability challenges at the capstone project presentation held at the Walton Center for Planetary Health this spring.

The event featured presentations from five project teams, each collaborating with industry business and community partners to develop sustainability solutions such as food waste reduction, decarbonization for carbon-intensive products, sustainability communication, green career opportunities and mitigating environmental impacts in event planning.

Among this year’s community partners was Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Hotel , represented by ASU alumnus Michael Ortiz. He graduated from the university in 2009 with dual bachelor’s degrees in sustainability and business management and now works as the hotel’s process improvement and sustainability manager. Ortiz spearheaded the collaboration with ASU students to address the hotel's food waste issue.

Studies show that the U.S. wastes 92 billion pounds of food annually, valued at over $473 billion. This equates to approximately 38% of America's total food supply.

According to a World Wildlife Fund report , customer-facing businesses like hotels, restaurants and supermarkets produce an estimated 40% of food waste. This makes hotel kitchens ideal settings for implementing food waste management strategies. 

The Fairmont Hotel has developed sustainability initiatives, such as reducing energy consumption, water conservation and sustainable sourcing, and it is seeking a sustainable solution for its food waste management operation. 

“The challenge with the food waste project was to identify cost-effective strategies to minimize waste without compromising guest satisfaction,” Ortiz said.

The project spanned two semesters, with College of Global Futures students from the ASU Online Master of Sustainability Leadership program  conducting research and return on investment analysis in fall 2023, followed by students from the Master of Sustainability Solutions program  refining strategies for the hotel’s food waste management practices in spring 2024.

“The ASU students conducted a comprehensive analysis of our food service operations, uncovering key areas where waste reduction could also yield financial savings,” Ortiz said. 

The team from the fall — which included Rebecca Auslander, Emily Magyar, Andrew Schuyler and Codie Sterner — highlighted opportunities in inventory management, portion control and composting initiatives that could enhance the Fairmont Hotel’s return on investment while contributing to their sustainability objectives.

“The Fairmont Scottsdale project allowed me to take the foundation I had built from the Master of Sustainability Leadership program and put the concepts to use,” Schuyler said. 

The Master of Sustainability Solutions team’s project in the fall of 2023 developed into a multifaceted food waste reduction program for the Fairmont hotel, which included staff training, guest awareness campaigns and partnerships with local food recovery organizations.

“The response from our executives was overwhelmingly positive,” Ortiz said.

“Already, we have seen a noticeable reduction in food waste, an increase in staff engagement with our sustainability goals, and positive feedback from guests who appreciate our commitment to the environment.” 

In spring 2024, the students of the Master of Sustainability Solutions team — which consisted of Zachary Albregts, Ani Hanesyan, Chassidy Manlapid, and Jaclyn Reynolds — worked on the second phase, incorporating innovative approaches to further enhance operational efficiency and reduce food waste. 

The team, led by Ortiz, visited the Fairmont Hotel site to learn more about the hotel’s food waste management operational chain. 

​​ After initial research and site visits, the Master of Sustainability Solutions team learned that food waste has environmental consequences and long-term socioeconomic impacts. Therefore, they developed a comprehensive and effective sustainability solution based on financial and social considerations. 

The student team found that there were areas of opportunity where food budgeting could be optimized. With high annual food costs, this finding highlights a major opportunity for financial savings and operational improvement. Meanwhile, from a social-impact standpoint, the excess food could otherwise be repurposed and/or donated to local charities.

By analyzing patterns in resource usage and guest behaviors, the team defined opportunities to improve operational efficiency and reduce food waste. 

“The commitment and creativity displayed by the students in pushing the boundaries of what we achieved last semester is truly commendable,” Ortiz said. 

The capstone experiences allowed both groups of students to apply their sustainability knowledge beyond the classroom by creating solutions with real-life impacts. 

“In academia, we learn about sustainability principles and are introduced to people who share our passion, which helps us expand how we perceive the world and tackle problems, which is extremely helpful,” Magyar said.

“But even the best ideas in the world won’t get implemented if we cannot convince enough people to engage with the solution.”

The project also prepared students for careers in the green workforce. 

“Since everyone on our team is considering a career path in corporate sustainability, this experience provided us with firsthand insight into how a company handles a complex sustainability problem,” Albregts said.

Ortiz shared that he was impressed with what both student teams accomplished for the capstone project, commending the tangible results it provided and the professionalism with which both teams conducted their work. 

“They have approached the project with a level of maturity, dedication and analytical rigor that one would expect from seasoned professionals,” Ortiz said.
