Inaugural Cook Institute for Entrepreneurship Luncheon to feature the Honorable John M. Mutz

The Gayle & Bill Cook Center for Entrepreneurship at Ivy Tech Bloomington will host its

Inaugural Cook Institute for Entre-preneurship on October 20, 2010 in the Ivy Tech Student Commons. The

Cook Institute will engage Ivy Tech students, individuals and the com-munity to focus on entrepreneurship education, support and awareness. Former Lt. Gov. and entrepreneur John M. Mutz will serve as the key-note speaker and Gayle and Bill Cook will participate in the event.

“Bill and Gayle bring an unbeliev-able creativity and common sense to any project they undertake,” Former Lt. Gov. John M. Mutz said. “What’s more, the two of them are among the best listeners I have ever met — and

that’s where true entrepreneurism be-gins.”

John M. Mutz is an entrepreneur, corporate leader, public servant and philanthropist. He serves on multiple corporate and not-for-profit boards of directors including the Lumina Foun-

dation where he serves as past Chair-man. He will speak about the growing need for entrepreneurship and innova-tion in Indiana and the world.

"The message that Mr. Mutz will bring to our inaugural event will strike the exact tone we seek in our message of providing practical entrepreneur-ial tools to individuals, our business program students and our extended economic development community,” Chancellor of Ivy Tech’s Bloomington campus John Whikehart said. “His success in the world of business, his contribution as a public servant, and his personal friendship with Gayle and Bill Cook make him the perfect key-note speaker to launch the Cook Insti-tute for Entrepreneurship.”

The Cook Institute will also feature a panel discussion with local and region-al entrepreneurs providing insight into the rewards and challenges of starting and operating small businesses in to-day’s economy. Additionally, an update on the progress of the Gayle & Bill Cook Center for Entrepreneurship at Ivy Tech’s Bloomington campus will be presented to the community.

“Bill Cook has long been an exam-ple of how American entrepreneurs can impact lives and communities by creating jobs and economic growth,” Steve Ferguson, Chairman of the Board of Cook Group said. “I am de-lighted that John Mutz, who has more than four decades of experience as an entrepreneur, food service executive

and in public service at the Indiana Statehouse, will bring his valuable in-sights on economics, philanthropy and politics to the Cook Institute for En-trepreneurship.”

“In today’s economy, job growth and vitality are essential for workers and

companies alike,” Kem Hawkins, Presi-dent of Cook Inc. said. “The Cook In-stitute for Entrepreneurship offers prac-tical tools and strategies for budding entrepreneurs on how to achieve those goals. John Mutz understands that when partnerships exist between education and business, communities prosper.”

"The Cook Institute for Entrepreneurship offers practical tools and strategies for budding entrepreneurs … "

"The message that Mr. Mutz will bring to our inaugural event will strike the

exact tone we seek in our message of providing practical entrepreneurial tools to individuals, our business program students and our extended economic development

community." — Chancellor Whikehart

The Ivy Art for Kids program be-gan with a successful 10 weeks of art classes for children this

summer. Ivy Arts for Kids is continu-ing enrollment this fall, offering age-appropriate classes for children in two age groups: pre-school (ages 4-6) and school-age (ages 7-12). All classes in-corporate ceramics into class activities each day, and unique class topics are geared toward children.

Guests explored the Ivy Tech Waldron's two performing arts spaces and five galleries. The newly-dedicated space "Treasurer's Gallery" occupies the loca-tion that was formerly the Treasurer's Office when the building was City Hall.

Ivy Tech Chancellor John Whikehart, Mayor of Bloomington Mark Kruzan and Com-mon Council President Isabel Piedmont-Smith unveiled the Dedication Plaque.

Ivy Tech's Bloomington campus held a dedication event at the Ivy Tech-John Waldron Arts Center

on Tuesday, September 14, 2010. The dedication event included a ribbon cutting ceremony, plaque dedication, and informal self-guided tours of the building and its newly dedicated gal-lery and classroom spaces.

“The Ivy Tech-John Waldron Arts Center is yet another example of Ivy Tech fulfilling its mission as a true comprehensive community college,” John Whikehart, Chancellor of Ivy Tech’s Bloomington campus said. “We have increased our lifelong learning options and integrated arts education into the Waldron for delivery to the community through activities such as Ivy Arts for Kids. In fact, this fall we added 22 arts-related classes to our program inventory as the direct result of acquiring the facility.”

Ivy Tech Community College’s Bloomington campus has named Chef Jeff Taber its new Hospital-

ity program chair. Taber comes to Ivy Tech Bloomington from The Art In-stitute of Ohio, where he taught bak-ing and pastry arts and sanitation and safety. Most recently Taber was the café coordinator for TriHealth Fit-ness and Health Pavilion.

Taber has experience as owner of his own bakery from 2007-2009, pro-duction manager, and food service director. He earned his AAS in Cu-linary Arts and a BAS degree in Food Marketing from Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI.

Beginning fall semester 2010, the Ivy Tech Hospitality program made available to students two new kitch-

en spaces, via Ivy Tech’s newly-leased 19,000 sq ft office, classroom and kitchen lab space at Liberty Crossing. One kitchen lab is desig-nated as the hot kitchen (cooking), and the other is the baking kitchen. The spaces include five ranges, two double-stacked convection ovens, two fryers, two salamander boilers, a char-broiler and eight induction tops.

Taber says that food is in the pub-lic view more than ever because of television, and that people are be-ginning to demand better quality and better tasting food. “Opportuni-ties are endless in the food indus-try,” Taber said. “Ivy Tech provides the tools to students so that they can benefit from the stability in the industry.”

lAUREN NEEly

My goals after graduating from Ivy Tech are to either transfer to Iu or the Herron School of art & Design at IuPuI. I am interested in studying painting or graphic design, and I am enrolled at Ivy Tech to save money while getting the foundation classes under my belt. I have never taken a sculpture class before, so it has definitely been a new challenge to how I usually create and think about art.

TAyloR RUSSEll

after Ivy Tech, I plan to transfer to Iu, unless I find a smaller art school with equal facilities. I’m thrilled at the recent interest Ivy Tech has taken in the arts, and at the benefits I am receiving from it. I plan on majoring in the arts and I simply want as many opportunities to learn as many different techniques as I can. My instructor, amy Brier, is not only talented in the field that she teaches, but is humble about it as well.
