The art of the pitch — and pitching art
Emma Siskoff, an art major from New Berlin, said creativity is her first and foremost passion as she pursues her options after graduation. But a secondary passion in entrepreneurship blossomed in October when Siskoff was a winner in the Self-Employment in the Arts — or SEA — pitch contest, held in conjunction with the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization, or CEO.

Campus Kudos
|
|
A correction from last week’s issue. Kudos to Carl Fox, chief research administration officer, and Tim Carone, lecturer in IT and supply chain management, who served on a panel at the Wisconsin AI Summit last week in Milwaukee. The summit brought together state, federal and military experts in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Kudos to Matthew Kiederlen, chief of police, who was named chair of the FBI National Use-of-Force Data Collection committee. The group is leading the effort to collect information about incidents in which force is used by a law enforcement officer that results in the death or serious bodily injury of a person, or when a law enforcement officer discharges a firearm at or in the direction of a person. Officials hope that robust and comprehensive data will increase transparency and lead to discussions about better policing, protecting and peacekeeping.
