Whitewater  Incubation  Pro-­ gram  (WhIP)  provides  consult-­ ing,  mentoring,  seminars  and  many  more  services  to  businesses  and  business  ventures  related  to  the  Whitewater  University  Tech-­ nology  Park.

The  Innovation  Center  con-­ ducted  an  event  on  Feb.  12  to  in-­ troduce  the  Launch  Pad  program,  an  educational  program  aimed  toward  the  students  who  are  in-­ terested  in  entrepreneurship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Launch  pad  is  our  student  business  incubator,â&#x20AC;?  WhIP  Exec-­ utive  Director  Denise  Ehlen  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  work  with  students  who  have  an  idea  that  they  would  like  to  commer-­ cialize,  and  we  bring  them  into  a  formal  pro-­ Ehlen gram  where  we  connect  them  with  educational  experiences  and  mentors.â&#x20AC;?

Dr.  William  Dougan,  co-­ director  of  Launch  Pad,  said  the  program  provides  an  opportunity  to  students  who  want  to  start  their  own  business  to  see  if  they  really  want  to  become  entrepreneurs.

Launch  Pad  provides  students  ZLWK RIÂż FH VSDFH WR GHYHORS WKHLU business  ideas.  It  also  provides  them  coaching  from  experienced  individuals  to  help  them  succeed  in  their  business  goals.   Launch  Pad  is  a  semester-­  based  program.  Ehlen  said  there  are  10  slots  for  students  each  se-­ mester,  with  only  one  spot  avail-­ able  now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students  are  competing  for  those  spaces  because  they  get  ac-­ cess  to  a  lot  of  resources,â&#x20AC;?  Ehlen  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  give  them  a  stipend  each  month  so  that  they  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  necessarily  have  to  have  a  sec-­ ond  job.  They  can  really  focus  on  their  business.â&#x20AC;?

Students  can  become  part  of  Launch  Pad  through  a  number  of  ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  majority  of  the  stu-­ dents  come  to  us  through  some  YHU\ GHÂż QHG SDWKZD\V ´ (KOHQ said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  win  a  business  plan  competition,  or  an  elevator  pitch  competition  or  they  have  done  a  presentation  in  a  class  for  one  of  the  mentors.â&#x20AC;?

Ehlen  also  said  the  WhIP  team  decides  who  gets  to  be  a  part  of  Launch  Pad. Launch  Pad  has  many  â&#x20AC;&#x153;iMentorsâ&#x20AC;?  who  coach  students  throughout  the  program.  One  of  the  mentors  is  David  Gee,  a  new  addition  to  UW-­Whitewater  fac-­ ulty  and  the  Launch  Pad  program.  He  does  one-­on-­one  coaching  for  the  Launch  Pad  scholars.  Other  iMentors  include  Choton  Basu,  Dougan  and  Jeff  Vanevenhoven.  Students  who  become  part  of  Launch  Pad  program  are  called Â

Launch  Pad  scholars.  One  of  these  scholars  is  freshman  Aus-­ tin  Kadulski.  He  has  been  work-­ ing  on  his  busi-­ ness  ideas,  and  after  talking  to  some  of  the  fac-­ ulty  members  and  attending  Kadulski a  Launch  Pad  meeting,  he  was  convinced  that  he  wanted  to  be  part  of  Launch  Pad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  important  for  people  to  realize  that  it  is  a  very  unique  program  in  state  of  wisconsin  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  one  of  the  reasons  that  I  have  picked  Whitewater  because  of  the  entrepreneurial  ecosystem  they  have  here,â&#x20AC;?  Kadulski  said.

One  of  the  success  stories  of  Launch  Pad  is  Mobcraft  Beers.  Choton  Basu,  iMentor  and  co-­ director  of  the  iHub,  said  the  founder  of  Mobcraft  beers,  Hen-­ ry  Schwartz,  was  a  Launch  Pad  scholar  and  a  UW-­W  graduate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He  is  an  example  of  a  suc-­ cessful  young  entrepreneur  who  worked  with  the  iMentors  and  other  people  in  the  program  to  launch  his  company,â&#x20AC;?  Basu  said.

Denise  Ehlen  said  Launch  Pad  is  free  of  cost.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;When  I  started  my  business,  I  would  have  loved  to  have  ac-­ cess  to  this  kind  of  help,  and  it  just  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  available,â&#x20AC;?  Ehlen  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  want  to  give  them  that  advantage,  help  them  out  for  it  so  this  is  part  of  the  universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ex-­ tra  curricular  program.â&#x20AC;?

Dr.  Dougan  also  said  the  Launch  Pad  program  is  a  kind  of  an  extracurricular  activity  that  will  help  students  in  the  long  run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many  other  universities  have  business  development  compo-­ nent  either  as  part  of  the  curricu-­

lum  or  part  of  the  extra  curricular  or  they  will  have  a  space  plus  the  programming  components,â&#x20AC;?  Dougan  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  one  has  been  very,  very  successful,  I  think  by  standards  of  almost  everybody.â&#x20AC;?

Dougan  and  Vanevenhoven  said  it  is  OK  if  a  student  leaves  the  Launch  Pad  program  and  does  not  pursue  their  business  idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  a  student  leaves  their  pro-­ gram  without  starting  a  business,  ¿ QGLQJ RXW WKDW WKH EXVLQHVV LGHD was  not  the  feasible  business  idea,  they  will  have  left  that  program  gaining  some  important  manage-­ rial  skills  that  they  wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  gotten  have  they  not  been  a  part  of  it,â&#x20AC;?  Vanevenhoven  said.

Ehlen  said  the  Launch  Pad  program  provides  networking  op-­ portunities  for  students  as  well  as  one-­on-­one  coaching  from  pro-­ fessionals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most  new  businesses  fail  and  so  we  want  to  sort  of  lower  the Â

risk,  give  you  some  great  expert  resources  and  network  increase  the  likelihood  that  you  will  suc-­ ceed,â&#x20AC;?  Ehlen  said.

Incubation  Center  also  is  in-­ troducing  a  new  program  called  ³SUHĂ&#x20AC; LJKW´ SURJUDP (KOHQ VDLG this  program  aims  to  reach  a  larg-­ er  audience  and  help  them  com-­ pete  for  the  launch  pad.

Vanevenhoven,  the  iMentor  and  the  co-­director  of   Launch  3DG DQG L+XE VDLG WKH SUHĂ&#x20AC; LJKW program  is  a  step  before  Launch  Pad.  He  also  said  the  specialty  of  this  program  is  to  attract  â&#x20AC;&#x153;un-­ like-­minded  peopleâ&#x20AC;?  together  and  work  on  innovative  business  ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  creativity  increases  ex-­ ponentially  in  that  regard,  the  cost  is  a  lot  more  time  and  effort  but  the  outcomes  are  so  much  more  worth  it  than  if  we  get  the  same  type  of  students,â&#x20AC;?  Vaneven-­ hoven  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  focus  of  that Â

Launch  Pad  is  educational,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  private  sector  incubational,  where  we  might  be  a  little  bit  rougher  might  be  a  little  more  harsh  in  our  criticism.â&#x20AC;?

and  in  many  cases,  is  a  blessing.  In  terms  of  civil  rights,  though,  the  United  States  needs  to  set  a  standard  for  all  states  to  follow.  In  previous  cases  of  civil  rights,  taking  action  through  the  federal  government  has  SURYHG EHQH¿ FLDO Suzan  B.  Anthony  and  Elizabeth  Cady  6WDQWRQ ZHUH WKH ¿ UVW WR SURSRVH DQ DPHQG ment  to  allow  women  to  vote.  After  battling  IRU \HDUV WKH DPHQGPHQW ZDV UDWL¿ HG LQ 1920,  and  women  in  all  sates  were  allowed  to  vote.  Until  then,  states  were  allowed  to  decide  who  could  and  could  not  vote.

Nana  Maiga,  vice  president  of  the  International  Student  Association,  has  been  planning  this  dinner  since  last  semester.  Maiga  is  from  Mali  and  met  fellow  international  students  at  last  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  always  really  easy  to  meet  [international  students]  directly,  because  you  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  just  see  someone  and  say,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh,  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  international  student,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  Maiga  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;When  I  went  to  the  dinner,  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  when  I  met  most  of  the  international  students.â&#x20AC;?  The  dinner  can  be  a  way  for  international  students  to  meet  community  members,  faculty  and  fellow  UW-­Whitewater  students  in  a  laid-­back  environment.  Everyone  is  invited  to  attend,  and  semi-­formal  or  culturally  inspired  attire  is  encouraged.

Tickets  are  $13  for  students  and  $20  for  the  general  public.  Tickets  are  available  for  purchase  at  the  Green-­ KLOO &HQWHU RI WKH $UWV %R[ 2I¿ F 8QLYHUVLW\ &HQWHU Information  Desk  and  online.

Maiga  said  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  important  to  keep  an  open  mind.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  afraid  to  ask  certain  questions,  because  I  know  some  people  might  think,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh,  they  think  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  stupid  because  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  asking  this  question,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  Maiga  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay  comfortable,  the  international  students  are  a  very  nice  group,  so  any  questions  are  welcome.â&#x20AC;?

The  dinner  will  provide  a  taste  of  what  the  ISA  has  to  offer.  If  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  left  craving  more,  ISA  meetings  take  place  at  5:15  p.m.  on  Thursdays  in  Hyland  Hall,  Room  1301.

The Theatre/dance and Music Department are hosting the musical â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Into the Woods,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; a combination of classic fairytales. The play will run from Feb. 21 to March 1 in the Barnett Theatre.

Ehrler  plays  Little  Red  Riding  Hood,  a  role  she  said  she  has  wanted  to  play  since  seventh  grade.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  one  of  my  favorite  shows,  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  WKH Âż UVW PXVLFDO ,ÂśYH GRQH KHUH ´ (KUOHU said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  freer  under  the  direction  of  Jim  [Butchart].  He  works  with  us  in  a  way  that  lets  us  analyze  for  ourselves  what  kind  of  person  our  character  is.â&#x20AC;?

Music  education  major  Mary  Vey  plays  &LQGHUHOOD ZKLFK LV WKH Âż UVW OHDG VKH KDV had  in  a  show.  Vey  has  been  singing  and  per-­ forming  since  she  was  in  high  school.  Â

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into  the  Woodsâ&#x20AC;?  is  different  because  she  comes  from  an  operatic  background,  Vey  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  known  this  musical  for  a  while,  and  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  always  been  a  huge  fan,â&#x20AC;?  Vey  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  always  wanted  the  role  of  Cinderella,  so  I  knew  I  had  to  audition  for  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Into  the  Woods.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Senior  Jennifer  Samson  plays  the  Bak-­ erâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Wife.  Samson  began  acting  at  the  age  of  10  in  her  community  theater.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into  the  Woodsâ&#x20AC;?  is  her  senior  project  and  her  last  show  at  UW-­Whitewater  as  a Â

theater  performance  major.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  like  entertaining  an  audience,â&#x20AC;?  Sam-­ son  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  like  creating  a  character,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  like  an  art.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  creating  a  story,  which  is  really  fun.â&#x20AC;?

Although  the  musical  is  about  fairy-­ tales,  the  story  holds  deeper  messages,  Eh-­ rler  said.  A  key  element  of  the  show  is  the  choices  the  characters  have  to  make  and  the  consequences  that  come  with  those  choices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  audience  is  really  going  to  be  sur-­ prised  about  how  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  deeper  sense  of  humanity  and  why  we  do  the  things  we  do,â&#x20AC;?  Ehrler  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  show  that  really  ques-­ tions  a  personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  beliefs.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  about  how  if  you  wish  for  or  want  something  so  bad,  are  you  willing  to  deal  with  the  consequences.â&#x20AC;?

Another  message  the  audience  should  take  away  is  the  importance  of  family  and  what  family  really  means,  Butchart  said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  want  the  audience  to  think  about  fam-­ ily,â&#x20AC;?  Butchart  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  want  them  to  think  about  what  families  are,  what  creates  fami-­ lies,  how  families  go  through  trial  and  tribu-­ lations.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into  the  Woods,â&#x20AC;?  runs  at  7:30  p.m.  from  Feb.  21  to  Feb  22,  Feb  26  to  March  1  and  2  p.m.  on  Feb.  23.

Tickets  are  $14,  and  students  are  encour-­ aged  to  buy  their  tickets  early  because  of  the  showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  popularity.

Directing  class  seeks  student  actors

By Abrielle Backhaus Arts  &  Rec  Editor

Theater  can  be  a  major  time  commitment,  but  with  the  Theatre  Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Directing  II  course,  students  interested  in  acting  can  perform  in  small  scenes  with  minimal  time  obligation.

Junior  Katie  Krueger,  a  theater  management  major,  said  she  knows  acting  in  plays  and  musicals  can  be  time  consuming,  but  she  said  these  small  scenes  require  less  time  than  a  full  produc-­ tion.

Krueger â&#x20AC;&#x153;Directors  always  work  around  the  actors  and  their  own  sched-­ ules  and  meet  at  mutually  available  times,â&#x20AC;?  Krueger  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually  they  meet  once  or  twice  a  week.â&#x20AC;?

Directing  II  has  14  students  enrolled,  and  13  of  them  are  directing  scenes  each  with  a  need  of  approximately  two  to  six  actors.

Krueger  said  she  hopes  UW-­Whitewater  students  will  take  advantage  of  the  opportu-­ nity  to  join  the  Theatre  Department  and  help  the  Directing  II  students  in  putting  on  their  scenes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  way  they  [auditions]  work  is  that  we  get  the  group  of  students,  and  they  can  either  choose  to  do  a  prepared  monologue  or  they  are  going  to  be  given  scenes  to  read  with  another  auditioner,â&#x20AC;?  Krueger  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;And  then  they  wait,  and  we  come  out  and  we  call  back  the  people  we  want  to  hear  more  from.â&#x20AC;?

Senior  Marguerite  Frey,  a  stage  manage-­ ment  major,  said  auditions  are  not  something  to  fear  but  something  to  enjoy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  pretty  low-­key,  especially  for  like Â

non-­majors  and  people  without  experience,â&#x20AC;?  Frey  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  really  relaxed  setting,  every-­ RQHÂśV JRRÂż QJ DURXQG DQG HYHU\RQH LV UHDOO\ friendly.â&#x20AC;?

Auditions  are  at  6  p.m.,  Feb.  20,  9  a.m.,  Feb.  21  and  7:30  p.m.  Feb.  24  in  the  Hicklin  Studio  Theatre.

Before  actors  can  be  cast,  the  student  directors  have  to  pick  a  scene  to  be  acted  out.

Student  directors  have  a  process  to  complete  in  order  to  choose  and  use  the  scenes  they  want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  directors  are  re-­ Frey sponsible  for  picking  their  own  scenes,â&#x20AC;?  Krueger  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  can  pick  ei-­ ther  an  independent  one  act  play  that  takes  up  20-­30  minutes  or  take  a  chunk  of  a  lon-­ ger  play,  and  then  when  we  have  one  that  we  think  we  want  we  read  it  in  front  of  the  class.â&#x20AC;?

Students  are  allowed  to  take  full  plays  and  cut  out  scenes  from  any  genre  they  prefer,  Krueger  said.

Directing  II  Professor  Jim  Butchart  KDV WKH Âż QDO VD\ LQ DOORZLQJ VFHQHV WR UXQ Krueger  said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  sort  of  run  it  as  a  seminar  class,â&#x20AC;?  Butchart  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;And  that  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  there  mostly  to  give  advice  and  to  help  the  students  and  to  work  with  them.â&#x20AC;?

Butchart  said  he  thinks  theater  is  a  great  way  for  students  to  be  someone  they  normally  are  not,  and  auditioning  for  a  role  like  this  is  practically  foolproof.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  almost  guaranteed  that  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  get  a  part  in  something,â&#x20AC;?  Butchart  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  guarantee  it,  but  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  almost  guaranteed  be-­ cause  we  need  so  many  people.â&#x20AC;?

The  student  directors  have  to  manage  the  actors,  decide  on  costumes,  adjust  lighting  preferences  and  turn  the  scene  into  a  cohesive  performance.

Frey  said  the  students  have  access  to  help  from  other  students  with  interests  in  stage  and  costume  design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luckily,  we  have  another  class  simulta-­ neous  with  this  class,  for  the  design  tech  and  stage  management  people,â&#x20AC;?  Frey  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  advanced  design  class.  So  we  have  someone  from  that  class  doing  sets  so  we  can  take  it  up  a  notch.â&#x20AC;?

Both  Frey  and  Krueger  said  they  look  forward  to  the  end  result  of  the  class:  seeing  the  entirely  student  run  scenes  take  the  stage,  which  is  set  for  May  5,  7  and  12.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;People  laughing  or  reacting  to  some-­ thing  you  came  up  with  is  like  one  of  the  best  feelings  in  the  world  for  a  theatre  student,â&#x20AC;?  Frey  said.
