MSU Entrepreneurs: Amir Butler and William Murphy

Sophomore entrepreneur Amir Butler said Michigan State University's entrepreneurial program has given her many new resources and helped her business excel even more.

Butler is the owner and designer of fashion line Soreem. She started her business as a freshman at Michigan State and used resources such as the MSU fashion show and Spartan Remix to promote herself.

“It’s helped me get a lot of recognition... A lot of people have come up to me more saying that they like my stuff and they want to buy it,” Butler said.

William Murphy, sophomore at MSU, is a entrepreneur as well with a business in bow tie designs.

Murphy works with his mother from home for their brand Reignbow Ties and they later plan to turn this small business into a corporation.

Although statistics show that at least 50 percent of start-up's fail within four years, these young entrepreneurs are prepared to take on the challenge.

MSU Entrepreneurship

Michigan State University is providing resources and expert advice to give students the entrepreneurial experience at an early age. Along with the minor in entrepreneurship that is available at MSU, in August of 2015 the campus also started its first entrepreneurial program which is almost a shoulder for students to lean on and it helps students pursue their innovative goals. The program is directed by the serial entrepreneur Neil Kane , who mentors aspiring entrepreneurs and has had 12 start-up businesses of his own. Other support programs that MSU offers for young innovators are The Hatch and Spartan Innovation . MSU's entrepreneurial program is open to all majors and the skills that are introduced to students are said to benefit any field immensely.
This map shows the worldwide interest by region, for American singers Beyonce Knowles and Taylor Swift. It displays how much the singers were searched in an engine online, which proves who is the most popular in each region today. From the map, you'll be able to see that Beyonce is most popular in Russia, while Taylor is most popular in Canada. I chose to search these two women for their worldwide popularity because in my opinion, it seems as if they are the most talked about artists today. They've traveled the world on tours and although they are American artists, you could probably go to any country and someone will know their name. 

Flint Beecher v.s. DEPSA 2017 Class C semi-finals

The boys who are back to back state champions from Flint Beecher High School head to the Breslin Center at Michigan State University again for the seventh time out of eight years today. This Class C semi-final game will tip off at 1p.m and be a face-off between Detroit Edison Public School Academy with a season record 15-11 and Flint Beecher 21-5 . After DEPSA's girl basketball team won a state title of their own last Saturday, the boys plan to do the same after the defeat of Monroe St. Mary's Catholic Central for the advancement of their first state semifinal in school history . Both of these teams have something to prove today with the Beecher Bucs going for the 3peat they lost their chances at in 2014 and the Detroit Pioneers making history in attempt to bring home their first state championship.
