The team dedicated their Labor Day to working towards their Trash to Cash goal by organizing a trash can cleaning event. Although it was a brief week of classes, it was still filled with learning opportunities. The students brought in Kyle Lindsay to help brainstorm further ideas for Project 2026.

Justin Henderson, Josh Awalt, and Adam Moore from Tellaro introduced the topic of information security through an engaging Q&A session. The group then visited the Country Rhodes Catering warehouse, where Lee Althoff shared insights about the catering industry and the process of purchasing a small business. The week wrapped up with a presentation by Hannah Beckman and Gretchen Alward from Dieterich Bank, focusing on the importance of giving and receiving critical feedback.
