More than half of America’s small businesses have owners over 55, and many have no succession plan. Dr. Doug Lepisto, associate professor of management at WMU Haworth and co-founder of Sleeping Giant Capital, writes about what that means for local ownership in an opinion piece published today in The New York Times.

He also touches on higher education’s role in preparing students to acquire and run existing businesses, not only to start new ones.

Investors in big cities are quietly consuming small businesses all over the country.

Business Bronco Spotlight🐴: Bailey Stewart found her voice and her future in the Leadership and Business Strategy (LBS) program at WMU Haworth. What started as uncertainty about a major turned into confidence, mentorship and the foundation to pursue law school.

Through LBS, Stewart landed an internship at Pondera, a business consulting service, where she served as lead and enrollment coordinator, created social media content and researched prospective clients. Now, she mentors new students considering the LBS program and encourages them to say yes to the challenging path.

Stewart shares, “I can never stop talking about leadership and business strategy. I have had opportunities that I would not have experienced with any other school. I want to share with other WMU students how life changing this experience is.”

A 1981 new student orientation made such an impression on Paul Hildenbrand that he set a goal to lead one himself. Forty-three years later, he is retiring from WMU.

Hildenbrand, B.B.A. ‘86, M.A. ‘07, spent much of his career in academic advising, serving as director of advising at WMU Haworth before moving into community college recruitment and outreach. He visited more than 20 of Michigan’s 30 community colleges every year, helped launch the Business Transfer Collective student organization and was a pioneering instructor for the Business Preparation course now part of the B.B.A. curriculum.

“Nothing makes me feel better than when a student that I had worked with over the years comes in to tell me they’re graduating and to thank me for my help in their success,” says Hildenbrand.

Business Bronco Spotlight🐴:

A free baseball program only works if families know it exists. That was the marketing problem Ja’Nya Dials took on this summer.

The marketing student interned with At Bat, Inc., a nonprofit running free after-school baseball programs for youth across Detroit, through the Broncos Lead Internship Program. At a small organization where everyone does a little of everything, Dials saw an opening to apply what she had learned in class.

“My main goal was getting more kids to sign up,” says Dials, who grew up in Detroit. “Seeing a direct connection between my posts and people signing up was really cool because I could see the impact of my work.”

Losing a corporate job is not usually the start of something. For Ali Yoder, B.B.A. ‘07, it was the opening she needed.

Nearly two decades into an HR career, Yoder’s position was eliminated. She used the moment to launch Latitude HR Group, where she helps small and midsized businesses get HR guidance they would not otherwise have access to. She credits WMU with preparing her for it.

“I left with confidence, a strong education and a degree that carried credibility with employers,” says Yoder, the first in her family to attend a four-year university. “It opened doors early in my career and gave me opportunities to continue growing.”
