Are there any experiences
you had during your time as a
student that you use in your
career today?
There were many experi-
ences. I started in the LSA
program then I switched into
the BBA program, and I also
went to law school at Michi-
gan. The same time that I was
going to school, I was starting
businesses; I had five different
businesses that I started over
the course of my time in Ann
Arbor, and I had a number of
employees by the time that I
was a senior. And the process
of starting and growing busi-
nesses across various disci-
plines while at the same time
going to school offered me lots
of experiences and lessons that
I still use.
As both a professor and
entrepreneur, how do you
bringsome of your personal
experiences into your
instruction?
I lecture at the University
at least once a year, and I also
teach an MBA-level class on
technology and entrepreneur-
ship at the University of Chi-
cago Booth School of Business,
and I try to bring as much of my
experience as an entrepreneur
and my experience building
business into the classroom. I
both tell stories from my busi-
ness life and use real-world
examples from growing busi-
nesses as the context of dis-
cussion in the classroom and
the students really appreciate
having that type of access and
interaction around things that
are going on in the real world
right now.

Government shutdown hits
hard for American Indian tribes

Tribal programs
take cuts and
furloughs hundreds
CROW AGENCY, Mont. (AP)
- American Indian tribes have
more than access to national
parks on the line with the gov-
ernment shutdown, as federal
funding has been cut off for
crucial services including foster
care payments, nutrition pro-
grams and financial assistance
for the needy.
For the 13,000 members of
southeast Montana's Crow
Tribe, the budget impasse had
immediate and far-reaching
effects: Tribal leaders fur-
loughed more than 300 workers
Wednesday, citing the shut-
down and earlier federal budget
cuts.
As a result, tribal programs
including home health care for
the elderly and disabled, bus ser-
vice for rural areas, and a major
irrigation project were suspend-
ed indefinitely.
"It's going to get hard," said
Shar Simpson, who leads the
Crow's home health care pro-
gram. "We're already taking
calls from people saying, 'Who's
going to take care of my mom?
Who's going to take care of my
dad?"'
Some tribes intend to fill the
gap in federal funds themselves,
risking deficits of their own
to cushion communities with
chronic high unemployment and
poverty against the effects of the
budget battle.
"Do we just throw kids onto
the street, or do we help them?
Most likely we're going to help
those families and do whatever
we can until this is unresolved,"
said Tracy "Ching" King, presi-
dent of northern Montana's Fort
Belknap Reservation.
But for other tribes, basic ser-
vices stand to take a direct hit.
That includes programs heavily
subsidized by federal agencies
5550MB
and others paid for with tribal
money that is suddenly unavail-
able because it's being held by
the Department of Interior, trib-
al leaders said.
Essential activities such as law
enforcement, firefighting and
some social services will contin-
ue, said Bureau of Indian Affairs
spokeswoman Nedra Darling.
Programs that did not make the
list include residential care for
children and adults, cash assis-
tance for the poor and payments
to vendors who provide foster
care.
How long those programs will
continue on reservations depends
on the duration of the shutdown
and how much money individual
tribes can spare. The BIA pro-
vides services to more than 1.7
million American Indians and
Alaska Natives from more than
500 recognized tribes.
Crow Chairman Darrin Old
Coyote said his tribe decided to
furlough workers now, hoping
the move will be only temporary,
rather than push into deficit a
budget stretched thin by earlier
federal cuts and recent declines
in revenue from a coal mine on
the reservation.
"We're taking a proactive
approach," Old Coyote said. The
316 furloughed workers represent
about half the tribe's employees.
In South Dakota, Yankton
Sioux Tribe Vice Chairwoman
Jean Archambeau said the shut-
down means money for heating
assistance won't be coning this
fall.
"I don't know what we're going
to do," she said. "They're already
predicting snow out west and
possibly in this area of the state."
General assistance payments,
which help people with gen-
eral needs not covered by other
programs, also have been cut,
Archambeau said.
The National Congress of
American Indians and tribal.
leaders said the "double wham-
my" of the shutdown and the
earlier automatic spending, cuts
known as sequestration illus-
trates their vulnerability in the
federal budget process.

heir business ideas. "Hopefully, we'll see them
get 1,000 pitches - reach the
namesake - this year," Wloch
said. "It's a friendly competi-
tion."
This year, MPowered not
only hopes to expand to other
campuses, but integrate itself
further into the University
community as well. Wloch is
optimistic about new tactics
to expand 1,000 Pitches's out-
reach on campus this year,
using methods such as "Pitch
Stations" - which will allow
students to pitch on the go -
and new social-media strate-
gies.
The organization is also
hoping to set up sponsored
pitch stations - the typical
pitch stations accompanied by
representatives from an entre-
preneurial company. Students,
along with pitching the idea on
video, will be able to pitch their
idea to the company on site and
receive feedback.
Wloch envisions that the
sponsored "Pitch Stations" will
change the process of recruit-
ing.
"(Companies) can see stu-
dents' creative processes at
work, and then they can see
how they develop the pitch,"
Wloch said. "So rather than
just finding out someone's
name and getting a resume,
you really get to see what the
person is like and how they
might be able to work for your
company."
He said he views 1,000
Pitches as a platform for fur-
ther development.
"We can encourage win-
ners of 1,000'pitches and par-
ticipants to start using other
projects within MPowered to
develop themselves," Wloch
said.
