Through their Social Innovation Showcase, the entrepreneurial e organiza- tion optiMize hopes that change begins with them. optiMize connects aspiring entrepreneurs with the resources and skills needed to build a busi- ness with a social conscience. After a semester dedicated to constructing pitches, analyzing consumer'markets and develop- ing products, optiMize members came together Thursday evening to present new social innova- tions to a public audience. As winter semester com- menced, so did preparations for what would become opti- Mize's first Social Innovation Challenge. Nineteen teams of students, representing a range of schools and colleges, came under optiMize's umbrella to be connected with resources that would help them create sustain- able business models. As the process neared an end, five teams of social entrepre- neurs were selected out of the 19 to present their pitches at the Showcase on Thursday evening. The teams who presented and competed at the Social Innova- tion Showcase included Beyond Bounds, a program helping Uni- versity underclassman be more proactive and make better use of university resources; Volunteer Buddy, a mobile application con- necting prospective volunteers with non-profit organizations; ReSource Fund, a micro-financ- ing scheme helping low-income community members avoid financial exploitation through one-on-one coaching; ReGrow Detroit, a branch of the Michigan Union.Urban Farming Initiative that proposes to turn blighted homes into agricultural hotspots; and the Detroit Entrepreneur- ship Network, an organization revitalizing entrepreneurship among Detroit youth. The optiMize cash prize was awardednotthroughaconvention- al selection process but through the calculation of the volume of the crowd's cheers. The Detroit Entre- preneurship Network collected the loudest audience reaction and swept the award. Each of the five finalists were awarded .$5,000 from optiMize sponsors. Sponsors included United WayofWashtenawCoun- ty, Menlo Innovations and LSA. In an interview at the event, E. Royster Harper, vice president for student affairs, said Universi- ty administrators would cbntin- ue to support a growth of social ventures on campus by "encour- Arbor Hills "Ann Arbor is a unique mar- ket, and we definitely want shopping center to a have a nice combination of national tenants and local ten- open in August ants who understand Ann Arbor," Stegeman said.

"This will definitely help in setting the tone for the corridor in terms of creating a more interesting and walkable commercial environ- ment." Although Ann Arbor's Briar- wood Mall is a popular choice for shoppers, Reiswerg said Arbor Hills will not compete with the mall due to funda- mental differences in shopper demographics. He emphasized that Arbor Hills favors local Ann Arbor retailers, while Bri- arwood features large chain retailers. "I don't think it's necessar- ily competition," Reiswerg said. "We're just a different type of shopper." LSA senior Emily Schwess- inger said she is looking for- ward to having the retailers Arbor Hills provides close by. "I think it would be nice to have those stores locally," Schwessinger said. "I think Madewell is relatively new on the scene in Michigan, so I think that would be cool to have around." Engineering junior Alec Elsen said Arbor Hills will attract a larger demographic from the greater Ann Arbor area rather than students from the University. "I don'tthink it'll impact stu- dents a ton," he said. "People who live and work in Ann Arbor will visit there more often - not sure how many students will shop there." 4 4 4 -aging students to try to think in a s social entrepreneurial way," pro- viding "skill and infrastructure support."
