The SCMRC concludes every semester with the SCM Student Showcase: a half day event featuring final presentations from the students in the Project Management Courses within the Walton Supply Chain Program.       

This course is a hallmark of the practice based learning that is embedded into the Walton SCM curriculum as well as the SCMRC L.E.A.D. mission of engaging leading industry organizations in the classroom. Within this course, students tackle real world supply chain challenges, ideating, researching, and ultimately proposing solutions to the sponsoring company.
      
The event - formerly known as Demo Day - features poster project presentations as well as a select number of student panel discussion showcasing the value of integrated industry within our program.
