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.

(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.

"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.
