These backpacks are put together full of winter survival necessities and CET Posse hands them out on foot. CET Posse Therapeutic Equestrianism Foundation needs sponsorship and active participation from the community.

Flywheel Fund, a member-managed capital fund run by The Mill, today announced a $50,000 investment in Invoke Learning, a higher education augmented-analytics company. Invoke Learning leverages artificial intelligence to provide higher education institutions with personalized data insights to help them improve student enrollment, retention, engagement, and DEI.
Invoke Learning was founded by Lige Hensley, former Chief Technology Officer for Ivy Tech Community College, and Brendan Aldrich, former Chief Data Officer in the Office of the Chancellor for the California State University system. Pat East, Executive Director of The Mill, commented, “Higher education is at a crossroads. Enrollment is down, many students aren’t graduating on time or at all, and fulfilling the promise of diversity, equity, and inclusion has become a priority. Invoke provides the clear, actionable data colleges and universities need to navigate and address these challenges.” Invoke Learning’s products, such as the InvokeDataLake, provide solutions for each stage of the student journey, from recruitment through application, enrollment, engagement, course completion, and retention. Behavioral analytics, like those used in the private sector for years, help paint a picture of how well the institution is achieving its goals, for example, those regarding equity and inclusion. Invoke Learning estimates that the higher ed market spends over $155 billion annually to address all of these student success issues.
Platform for Renting Outdoor Gear Wins Idea Competition: WANDR Aims for April 2022 Launch12/16/2021 The Mill, Bloomington’s nonprofit center for entrepreneurship, announced that John Laughlin and Josh Roche are the winners of the 2021 Crossroads Idea Competition for their proposal, WANDR. WANDR will build a community of outdoor adventurers who want to either rent out their own gear or seek to rent others’ gear.
Roche, Senior Financial Analyst at Cook Medical, and Laughlin, Account Director at Near The Box, a custom software engineering company, have been exploring the WANDR concept for a few months. Outdoor adventure gear is expensive, they say, and cost is a major barrier, as is storage space. Meanwhile, people who do buy specialized equipment often find that it sits idle in the garage for most of the year. WANDR will connect the dots between adventurers who need gear and equipment owners who’d like to recoup some of the costs. Roche and Laughlin won the Crossroads Idea prize of $2,500, sponsored by Velocities, to develop the idea further. As Landscape Continues to Shift, Increased Cyberthreats, Supply Chain Issues Impact ITThe global supply chain crunch and massive shifts in business practices in the past year are driving information technology (IT) decisions and purchases for 2022, according to Matrix Integration, a strategic IT infrastructure partner for more than 1,000 businesses and schools in the Midwest and beyond.
“IT professionals as well as CEOs are reimagining how technology can help them better handle new realities such as remote work, supply chain issues and increases in cybersecurity threats,” said Reggie Gresham, vice president of enterprise sales at Matrix Integration. “These changes are here to stay, and many companies are viewing these challenges as opportunities to restructure how they do business and how technology fits into that picture.” Hometown heroes are the focus of annual college bowl game set for Dec. 28 on ESPN
The fourth annual SERVPRO First Responder Bowl is set for Tuesday, Dec. 28, at SMU's Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, Texas, where the Air Force Falcons will face off against the Louisville Cardinals. Kickoff is set for 2:15 p.m. central on ESPN. SERVPRO hosts this event each year to recognize the service and sacrifice of thousands of first responders nationwide. "This game shines a spotlight on hometown heroes across the country," said Ryan Wolfe, a disaster restoration specialist with SERVPRO of Lawrence, Owen, Greene & Martin Cos.. "We are proud to be part of a company that honors all first responders for willingly putting the welfare of others ahead of their own personal safety." Each SERVPRO franchise is an integral part of its local community, so SERVPRO asked their franchisees nationwide to submit the name of a first responder in their hometown to be considered for special recognition at the game. This year, SERVPRO teammates selected Sgt. Steven Austin of the Montgomery County (Maryland) Sheriff's Office, who was nominated by SERVPRO of Silver Spring North, Maryland.
