Alum honored among international young professionals who stand out as future leaders, passionate problem-solvers

Abbey Goers

Kole Mewhorter, a business administration and supply chain management alum from ��, is being honored as an Institute for Supply Management 2025 ISM 30 Under 30 Rising Supply Chain Star.

Mewhorter, a demand planner at H.B. Fuller, a leading global adhesives provider headquartered in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota, is among the 30 exceptional young professionals awarded by ISM for making a measurable impact across supply chain, procurement and operations roles worldwide.

“These rising leaders reflect the strength and future of the supply management profession,” said Debbie Fogel-Monnissen, interim chief executive officer of ISM. “Their curiosity, discipline and commitment to continuous improvement are helping organizations navigate complexity and build more resilient, forward-looking supply chains.”

Now in its 12th year, the ISM 30 Under 30 program recognizes individuals who demonstrate leadership, collaboration, innovation and a commitment to advancing the supply management profession.

Mewhorter and other honorees will be celebrated at the Awards Gala during the ISM World Annual Conference, April 26-28 in Denver, Colorado. Honorees this year are from the United States, Brazil, France, India, Kenya, Malaysia and United Kingdom. They represent manufacturing, pharmaceutical, aerospace and defense, oil and gas, business services and other industries.

“Receiving this award means that there is a sense of what I am doing day-to-day is meaningful. Earning a global recognition justifies to me that I can continue to make a difference. I am proud of that,” said Mewhorter, a 2022 alum.

Continuing to push for innovation and improvement in supply chain

Through his work, Mewhorter reflects a deep sense of ownership, a forward-looking mindset and a commitment to elevating operational excellence. He began at H.B. Fuller as a buyer/scheduler a month after graduation and was promoted to demand planner seven months later.

Mewhorter continues to support improvement initiatives at H.B. Fuller, upholding the mission of Connecting What Matters. “This is done by bringing people, processes and products together to purposefully solve problems. A key part of this is with Supply Chain Excellence to become the best supplier to our customers,” he said.

H.B. Fuller partners with an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 clients and continues to establish more partnerships within the company.

During H.B. Fuller ��. transition to a regionally led supply chain structure, Mewhorter played a key role in developing the North America regional demand planning team — one of the foundational building blocks of the company ��. new operating model.

He independently created and implemented a standardized demand review process, setting clear performance expectations while meeting structure and forecasting guidelines, increasing accuracy in every business segment he works with.

“The North America demand planning team provides detailed insight into how we review our capacity/utilization, and where and how much stock we hold. It supports how much production needs to be scheduled, and how much raw materials our sourcing department needs to procure,” Mewhorter said. “It also impacts various projects that come up. Our demand planning department was not mature, and in the past two years or so, we have established ourselves as a respected seat at the table. I am proud of being a key contributor to that.”

Mewhorter also built a suite of key performance indicators (KPIs) and analytical tools, including integrated performance dashboards and enhanced reporting. These tools improved forecast visibility and enabled stronger operational decision-making.

Partnering closely with operations and commercial teams, he works directly with plant leadership, supply managers, and commercial directors to resolve complex issues and align customer demand with production capabilities and business strategy.

Mewhorter supported the rollout and adoption of a new stocking strategy framework and contributed to stock-keeping unit (SKU) rationalization initiatives. He has strengthened forecast-to-revenue alignment by collaborating with finance and commercial teams to develop more accurate, transparent methods for translating demand signals into revenue projections. He designs scalable tools, improves complex processes, and creates resources that accelerate learning and adoption across the company ��. global supply chain organization.

To build alignment among different stakeholders, Mewhorter sets clear expectations around what type of information needs to be communicated and how, knowing that it is critical to understand the deliverables or information that each stakeholder requires.

“Overcommunicate everything,” he said. “It is better to pull people in versus leaving them out. They may have a different perspective or concern that could be critical. At H.B. Fuller, we pride ourselves on the ‘Power of Collaboration.’ This is not something that can be taught, but it is a culture.

“We have a culture that positively supports the idea of ‘We are in this together.’ It is amazing, and I wouldn’t be effective at my job if I did not regularly collaborate with various parties,” he said.

Mewhorter feels motivated to continue pushing for innovation and improvement in supply chain because there is always room for improvement, knowing that the work he has done has driven positive impacts.

“This motivates me to keep the ball rolling. I also am always thinking about the direction of our business, and to get there we need to continue to optimize our supply chain operations,” he said. “Supply chain is becoming more critical every day and the only constant in this profession is change. The companies that will thrive when there are economic changes are the ones that have strong supply chains. The people within their supply chain organizations need to adapt.

“I see the future of supply chain becoming one of the most critical departments within an organization. This is because of advancements in AI, new tools and technologies, and an ever-changing economic environment. Strong supply chain departments will persevere through difficult economic activity and effectively adopt new technology,” Mewhorter said.

Prepared to work anywhere and be a valuable employee

Originally, Mewhorter wanted to attend a university that was close to his hometown of Chippewa Falls, and he heard about �� . business administration program. During his first semester in that program, he learned about supply chain and was immediately intrigued.

“I was mostly amazed with how supply chain deals with end-to-end business activity; from buying raw materials to shipping to the customer and everything in between,” he said. “From that point on, I pursued a double major in business administration and supply chain management. I knew I could work anywhere and be a valuable employee.”

Mewhorter felt challenged, encouraged and supported by his peers and professors, including Program Director Gene Gutman. “There was an aura that what you were going through was extremely difficult, but you could do it, and it would benefit you down the road. My experiences at Stout helped me to stay driven, collected, and effective in the workplace when difficult scenarios arise,” he said.

“I am StoutProud that I went to a university that challenged me more than other universities. I got firsthand experience with professionals that prepared me to be effective in the workplace. It wasn’t just lectures and exams. It was opportunities to think critically, problem-solve and execute on deliverables. The polytechnic approach is so effective, and I am grateful for that,” Mewhorter added.

Founded in 1915, the Institute for Supply Management is the leading not-for-profit professional supply management organization, with more than 200,000 members in more than 100 countries, managing about $1 trillion in corporate and government supply chain procurement annually.

ISM is committed to advancing the strategy and practice of integrated, end-to-end supply chain management through leading edge data-driven resources, community, and education to empower individuals, create organizational value and drive competitive advantage. Its vision is to foster a prosperous, sustainable world.

�� . School of Management offers 20 undergraduate and graduate degrees and certificates that build students' leadership skills in business, hospitality and technology innovation, military science, and operations and management fields.

Internships with Yankees, PGA Tour, Vikings, Brewers and beyond give �� students big-league skillsgiffeyt March 25, 2026

Students get professional experience working with sports professionals

Tom Giffey

�� senior Carson Leuzinger may be paying a little more attention than usual this year to Major League Baseball ��. Opening Day, when the New York Yankees face the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, March 25.

That ��. because Leuzinger, a dietetics major from Monroe, had two internships with the Yankees last summer at their development and rehabilitation center in Tampa, Florida. There he helped All-Stars and new draft picks alike get healthy – and stay healthy – by making the right nutritional choices.

The Yankees aren’t the only professional sports franchise where �� students have interned in the past few years. Blue Devils have worked with VIPs as black jacket interns for the Minnesota Vikings. They have served as coaching fellows with the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and made sure PGA Tour events were up to par. And they’ve worked behind the scenes for the home-state Milwaukee Brewers to ensure services for fans and clients were home runs.

All the while, Blue Devils like Leuzinger were finding ways to apply their �� education.

“Some things I learned at Stout that helped me down there were having a basic understanding of the macronutrients and micronutrients, what ��. high in protein, what ��. high in fat,” Leuzinger said. “I remember one time I was in the cafeteria and a player came up to me and said, ‘I want to eat a lot of protein. Should I eat shrimp or pork today?’ Just knowing that was a good background.”

Whether for major league sports franchises, Fortune 500 firms, or Main Street businesses, career-focused experiences like Leuzinger ��. are key to �� . polytechnic identity. �� students enroll in roughly 1,000 internship and co-op experiences annually, giving them career-ready skills before they receive diplomas. In fact, 35% of �� students accept positions with their co-op or internship employer.

Helping the Yankees at the plate

Leuzinger, a guard on the Blue Devils men ��. basketball team, came to �� with the goal of pursuing a career in some aspect of sports, whether it was nutrition, strength training, physical therapy or chiropractic. Ultimately, encouraged by what faculty members described as an increasing demand for dieticians, he joined the B.S. dietetics program.

Leuzinger first took part in an unpaid internship for the Yankees last June, then was asked to return in August for a paid internship. He worked at the team ��. facility in Tampa across the street from George Steinbrenner Field, which serves the Yankees during spring training as well as the regular season home of one of their minor league affiliates, the Tampa Tarpons.

Starting his days at 7 a.m., Leuzinger would work to keep players — notably those who had just been drafted as well as major leaguers who were undergoing rehab — fed and hydrated. His tasks included making meal plans for players, creating charts about the nutritional value of meals at restaurants near the facility and stocking fuel stations with protein shakes, granola bars and vitamins.

University of Wisconsin-Stout alum Samantha Ziwicki is living her dream working for her favorite NFL team as a special events associate.

“One thing that shocked me was just how approachable everyone at the facility was — players and staff,” Leuzinger said. “They’re all just the nicest people ever. It can be intimidating coming to an internship with the Yankees, being a college student. They all took me in like I was just another part of the organization.”

He particularly enjoyed working and chatting with the likes of right fielder Aaron Judge, last season ��. American League MVP, as well as pitchers Carlos Rodón and Cam Schlittler. “Once you meet them and get to know them, you become more of a fan,” he said. “You kind of realize they’re just regular dudes at the end of the day. They’re just guys who play baseball who are really good at it.”

Leuzinger said his internship impacted what has been on his own training table as a student athlete: He returned from Tampa with a few new ideas, including electrolyte grapes (grapes mixed with electrolyte drink powder and frozen), protein balls and smoothie recipes.

Even more importantly, Leuzinger had opportunities for professional networking. The facility ��. head dietician, for example, had previously worked for the NCAA Division I programs at the University of North Carolina and the University of Florida. “It ��. important to build those connections because you never know who they know,” he said.

Behind-the-scenes experience

�� . B.S. golf enterprise management program has also provided a pathway to internships with affiliates of the PGA Tour, giving undergraduates behind-the-scenes experience at some of the golf world ��. most notable venues and events.

Senior Garret Sigl, a golf enterprise management major from Seymour, got an inside look at what it takes to make major competitions like the PGA Championship succeed during an internship last summer with Patina Group, a restaurant, hospitality and catering company owned by Delaware North.

Sigl split his logistics and operations specialist internship between working at a Patina warehouse near Green Bay — which housed countless items needed for large-scale catering jobs — and helping with three major PGA events.

“All the behind-the-scenes things that you wouldn’t think of, I got to help organize, work on and clean up,” Sigl explained. “Then whenever a tournament would come up, I’d fly out to the event, work there and come back to the warehouse.”

He spent nearly two weeks working at last May ��. PGA Championship, which was held at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. The following month brought him to the Women ��. PGA Championship at Fields Ranch East in Frisco, Texas. Then, even after the fall semester began, he spent late September working at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black Course at Farmingdale, New York. Sigl gained experience in the back-of-house operations for these prestigious tournaments, which drew hundreds of competitors and hundreds of thousands of spectators.

For example, at the Women ��. PGA Tournament he oversaw the building that served food for caddies and players. “I like to say my position was kind of like an air traffic controller,” Sigl explained. “There are constantly problems that come up, and you don’t have much time to solve them, so you have to find a way to reprioritize what ��. going on, how important it is, and work your way through. It was quite interesting just to see how much organized chaos goes on and how well you’re able to overcome some challenges that can step in your way.”

At the Ryder Cup, which pits teams of American and European golfers against each other, Sigl ��. tasks ranged from ensuring supplies were property accounted for to managing liquor inventory to making sure 2,000 doughnuts were delivered each morning.

“I think the biggest thing I learned is how important teamwork and being positive helps with the workplace environment,” said Sigl, who is also a member of the �� men ��. golf team. “I’ve worked at many different companies and a couple of different industries, but I’ve never worked in a place that has as much positivity and shows as much teamwork as the Patina Group and Delaware North.”

#StoutProud: Mike Bond ('15, '17)

Mike Bond shares about his time at ��, leadership influences and how he is giving back to student athletes.

Making connections through ��

Junior Henry Lavin, also a golf enterprise management major, spent the past two summers interning at the Tournament Players Club (TPC) Twin Cities, first as a golf shop intern and then as golf shop coordinator. The PGA Tour-owned course in Blaine, Minnesota, which hosts the 3M Open, has given Lavin plenty of opportunities to apply the skills he ��. learned at ��.

“Everything I have been taught I have used during my internships,” Lavin said. “Every lesson that we have had a purpose. I’ve really noticed that, and it ��. allowed me to really truly like school.”

�� student Henry Lavin, right, at TPC Twin Cities his internship. Next to him is �� alum Ben Plant, an assistant golf pro at the course. / Submitted photo

Lavin formed a connection with �� even as a high school student in Richfield, Minnesota, when he reached out to Professor Emeritus Chris Schoonover, then the director of the golf enterprise management program, for a career research paper. Schoonover referred him to 2009 �� alum Adam Chandler, then head golf pro at TPC Twin Cities. This connection led to both internships.

During the summer after his freshman year at ��, Lavin helped run TPC Twin Cities’ junior golf programs, helped with youth lessons and assisted with tournaments. “My first-year internship was probably the best summer of my life,” Lavin said. “It really made me fall in love with the golf industry. It really opened my eyes to all the possibilities that could be.”

The following summer he gained responsibilities, especially during the 3M Open, when Lavin helped build and operate the fan shop that catered to tournament spectators. In between his retail duties, Lavin got to mingle with top players in the clubhouse. And on the Monday before the main tournament started, Lavin was even called in to caddy for an up-and-coming pro during a one-day pro-am competition.

In addition to rubbing shoulders with pro golfers, Lavin enjoyed being able to meet some of the top merchandisers with the PGA Tour, giving him insight into the retail portion of the golf industry.

And while Lavin won’t graduate for more than a year, �� connections have already contributed to a career path in the sport he loves. �� alum Chandler, his former boss at TPC Twin Cities, is now head pro at Edina Country Club, and he has offered Lavin an internship at the course this year and the opportunity to become an assistant pro the following year.

“So I have a job lined up once I graduate, which is pretty exciting and at a very good facility with a boss that I absolutely love,” Lavin said. “And I can confidently say that was mostly due to Stout ��. networking.”

We are appreciative of the strong collaboration and innovation embraced by the exceptional faculty and staff at CNM and ��.”

“On behalf of CNM, we’re excited to partner with �� to create a powerful new pathway for our students and for employers who need a highly skilled workforce,” said CNM President Tracy Hartzler. “Our Industrial Automation program at CNM already prepares students with the hands-on skills regional employers need. Through this uplifting partnership, our students will be able to seamlessly advance their education into a high-quality bachelor ��. degree program that will prepare them to be leaders in advanced manufacturing.

�� Chancellor Katherine Frank, right, and Tracy Hartzler, president of Central New Mexico Community College, sign the articulation agreement. / Submitted photo

Frank and Hartzler signed the agreement on Feb. 27 as part of the Alliance for Innovation and Transformation (AFIT) Higher Education CEO Forum & Reps Meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Central New Mexico Community College, which is based in Albuquerque, has about 20,000 students across five campuses.

Both Frank and Hartzler are members of the executive committee of AFIT, an association of innovative higher education CEOs who are committed to transforming their organizations in the face of unprecedented challenges and change. The group aims to inspire innovation by connecting with world-class learning partners from organizations outside of higher ed, including the likes of Apple, Disney, Microsoft and Ritz-Carlton.

The articulation agreement is part of �� . continued collaboration with Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) to strengthen industry-aligned credentials and workforce pathways. Courses in �� . online-only B.S. automation leadership program are aligned with SACA standards.

“We look forward to the opportunities this partnership will create for students, faculty and industry partners,” said Professor David Ding, director of �� . Robert F. Cervenka School of Engineering and interim dean of the College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics & Management.

While the articulation agreement with Central New Mexico Community College is �� . first with an institution outside of the Upper Midwest, the university already offers transfer pipelines and articulation agreements with numerous Wisconsin and Minnesota educational institutions into dozens of degree programs.

School of Management students propose riverfront hotel model for Milwaukee ��. historic Third Wardgoersab March 10, 2026

Institute of Real Estate Management club members take third at CORE Case Competition

Abbey Goers

How do you produce a comprehensive, financially feasible development plan that creates value, generates attractive returns, is feasible in today ��. capital markets and aligns with the long-term positioning in Milwaukee ��. historic Third Ward?

�� School of Management students were tasked with just such a challenge recently at the Wisconsin CORE (Creation of Real Estate) Case Competition, hosted by the Commercial Association of Realtors Wisconsin and sponsored by the Milwaukee Commercial Association of Realtors.

IREM members Alexis Brinkmoeller, Breyden Kane and Madelyn King

They joined eight other student teams from three Wisconsin universities in the two-week-long challenge before presenting their real estate development case to industry judges at CORE, held on Feb. 28 at Marquette University and the Wisconsin Club in Milwaukee.

Students used the Harbor Yards riverfront site, a Mandel Group-owned 2.61-acre property on Water Street, selecting an appropriate mix of uses – such as apartments, condos, office, retail and hospitality – consistent with industrial ‑mixed zoning and under 10 stories tall.

After a full day of presentations and networking opportunities, �� won third place. The team – Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) student club members – were:

Breyden Kane, double major in hotel, restaurant and tourism management and real estate property management from St. Paul
Madelyn King, double major in hotel, restaurant and tourism management and real estate property management from Brownsville
Alexis Brinkmoeller, double major in business administration and real estate property management from Eau Claire.

“We decided to do a hotel – naming it RiverFront, by Kohler – with a golf simulator, 15-hole PGA putt putt course, luxury spa, self-pour tap room, and a rooftop beer garden restaurant, inspired by the German- and Polish-based heritage of Milwaukee,” Kane said.

In polytechnic fashion, the competition gave students another opportunity to apply classroom simulations to a real-world project, analyzing the project from concept to completion. They completed a comprehensive proposal addressing market needs, financial feasibility, risk awareness, design and community impact.

The team ��. analysis of the riverfront site included zoning, parcel boundaries, and environmental and infrastructure assumptions. “The capital stack, development budget, and projected returns (IRR, equity multiple and yield on cost), showed that the project is financeable in the current interest rate and capital markets environment,” Kane said.

Their professional deliverables included a slide deck for a 15-minute presentation with 10-minute Q&A, an executive summary and a financial model.

The development plan included the proposed use mix and program, phasing and timeline for construction, site planning, and market positioning relative to the Harbor District Area Plan and prior Mandel concepts.

The financial model offered sources and uses, a development budget with hard and soft costs, capital structure assumptions, stabilized operating projections, return metrics, exit value, and risk and sensitivity considerations.

“Our Stout students’ presentation offered a highly creative and feasible use of the land, integrating their experiences in hospitality and real estate management,” said REPM Program Director Fred Prassas. “We are very proud of their accomplishments.

“Competitions of this nature provide students with an exceptional learning opportunity,” Prassas added. “Success in this industry requires collaboration among many disciplines and these competitions give the students the opportunity to meet with professionals they will likely encounter throughout their careers.”

CORE, through the Commercial Association of Realtors Wisconsin, is committed to strengthening the talent pipeline and connecting students with real-world opportunities in Wisconsin ��. commercial real estate industry. This was its inaugural competition.

Career Services’ annual First Destination Report found that 100% of recent REPM graduates were employed or furthering their education within six months of graduation, and have an average starting salary of $56,000. �� . real estate property management program is one of only a handful of its kind in the U.S.

�� . School of Management offers 20 undergraduate and graduate degrees and certificates that build students’ leadership skills in business, hospitality and technology innovation, military science, and operations and management fields.

Career-connected learning: SkillsUSA brings nearly 400 middle, high school students to ��goersab February 25, 2026

Engineering, technical, design competitions prepare young people for future careers

Abbey Goers

Nearly 400 students from 41 middle schools and high schools across the state will put their engineering, technical and design knowledge to the test at the SkillsUSA Regional Competition at ��, Thursday, Feb. 26, and Friday, Feb. 27.

Students will compete in more than 35 events hosted by Continuing Education and Conferences. Using industry-standard machinery, devices and software across campus labs, competitors’ hands-on experiences help prepare them for their future careers – a goal at the core of Wisconsin ��. ��.

�� students will also build their leadership skills as they help coordinate judging and develop many of the challenges, such as the Team Engineering Challenge. Technical events include 3D printing, additive manufacturing, automotive service technology, carpentry, CO2 dragster, electronics technology, entrepreneurship, mechatronics, medical terminology, precision machining technology, robotics, photography and video production, welding and more.

Events are coordinated and judged by �� faculty, staff and students, SkillsUSA advisors, technology educators and alumni.

Media are welcome to cover the competition. Contact Youth Program Manager Tiffany Hoage at hoaget@uwstout.edu for a full schedule and location of events.

The competition will also host a Future-Ready Workforce Summit from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 26. Area business leaders, human resource directors, and recruiters from across Wisconsin will participate with SkillsUSA Wisconsin team members to discuss the challenges of finding and recruiting skilled employees and how SkillsUSA Wisconsin can partner with organizations and school districts to provide a pipeline of skilled and qualified future workers.

Career-connected learning in action

Career and technical student organizations (CTSOs), like SkillsUSA, are what ��. working in education, said SkillsUSA Wisconsin State Director Jake Mihm, technology and engineering consultant with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

“When we think about career-connected learning and developing the whole child to be college and career ready, CTSOs are the perfect fit to round out a student ��. professional endeavors. Thank you to �� for hosting this event for more than 40 years,” he said.

Mihm, a 1998 �� education in technology and engineering alum, hopes the competition helps students:

Gain a sense of purpose and connectedness to what they are learning in their technology and engineering courses.
Gain a sense that there is more to learn outside of high school and that there is a wonderful variety of opportunities for them beyond secondary education.
Have a positive experience on a Universities of Wisconsin campus.
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Students build leadership skills

Many student volunteers are members of student organizations, such as the Student Construction Association and the Technology and Engineering Education Collegiate Association, which provides leadership opportunities for future educators.

Students Jessica Heckenkamp and Lilly Douty are leading two volunteer efforts this year. Heckenkamp, a double major in manufacturing engineering and mechanical engineering, is the logistics lead for the Team Engineering Challenge, working with engineering technology Program Director Abhi Ghosh. Douty, a hotel, restaurant and tourism management major, is a SkillsUSA Wisconsin alum and has been helping to plan the regional competition.

“I hope the competitors take away from the challenge are the benefits of being able to solve a problem promptly, the value of teamwork, and gracious professionalism, which is the ability to be competitive whilst being a good sport,” Heckenkamp said. “The biggest benefits I see from young students getting to work within Stout are exposure to the college work environment and the confidence that they will get from knowing they can continue their learning and expand their skills up to the college level.”

For Douty, an events management minor, it ��. been a nostalgic experience planning the event. “It has reconnected me with my old SkillsUSA advisor and brought back many other sweet memories. It ��. been great to apply my HRTM skills I’ve learned in class to this event coordinator position. I plan to pursue a career in event management after college, so both HRTM and this campus position are equipping me for the future,” she said.

As a SkillsUSA alum, Douty ��. biggest takeaway from participating in the competition was the connections she made. “I connected with like-minded students from all over Wisconsin, many of whom are still close friends,” she said. “Beyond the friendships, I developed valuable skills such as public speaking, leadership and project management. Competing and collaborating pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me gain confidence in my abilities, both personally and professionally.”

The annual SkillsUSA State Competition will be held April 7-8, in Madison. �� faculty and students will be running the Team Engineering Challenge at the state competition.

SkillsUSA is a nationwide organization that provides educational programs, events, and competitions focused on career and technical education. Founded in 1973, Wisconsin SkillsUSA has 166 high school and middle school chapters. Its talent pipeline covers more than 110 trades, technical, and skilled service occupations, mostly related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

��'s College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics & Management offers 26 undergraduate and 11 Graduate Studies degree programs, eight academic departments, the School of Management and the Robert F. Cervenka School of Engineering.

Supporting entrepreneurs: Edgewood Bakeshop benefits from business students’ cost accounting project

Supporting entrepreneurs: Edgewood Bakeshop benefits from business students’ cost accounting project goersab February 20, 2026

Successful small business collaborates with class to improve operations, sales

Abbey Goers

Nothing draws a hungry crowd quite like the aroma of freshly baked bread, the flaky deliciousness of croissants, the mouthwatering perfection of pastries. At Edgewood Bakeshop, owner Bekah Stamps welcomes daily crowds, as patrons form a line out the door of her popular artisanal bakeshop in downtown Chetek.

But how does an already successful business improve its operations and increase sales? For Stamps, the answer came in a collaboration with �� business administration students.

Recently, students in Lecturer Kayla Stajkovic ��. Cost Accounting course used Edgewood Bakeshop ��. real cost, sales and operations data to analyze break-even points, product decisions and seasonal sales patterns. At the end of the project, they presented their recommendations to Stamps.

“I was impressed with the level of professionalism I witnessed from the students in this class,” Stamps said. “There were multiple moments where I felt that I was sitting with an accounting firm I’d hired to deep dive into my business. These students have a bright future, and I’m honored to have been able to collaborate with them in this way.”

Stajkovic thinks small businesses are uniquely powerful learning partners because their challenges are visible, immediate and consequential. “When students work with small businesses, they see firsthand how interconnected decisions are. Small businesses — especially newer ones — are often operating with limited resources while the owner wears every hat: operations, marketing, finance, HR,” she said.

Using cost accounting as a strategic decision tool

At the start of the project, Stamps visited the class, shared her background, her vision for Edgewood Bakeshop and her belief that bread was her primary profit driver.

However, the students’ analysis proved that what looks most profitable on a simple revenue-minus-cost basis isn’t always the most profitable when constraints are considered. When they calculated contribution margin per oven minute and per labor hour, instead of just per unit, they discovered that croissants could outperform bread depending on which resource was the true bottleneck.

“That shift from ‘Which product makes more money?’ to ‘Which product makes the best use of our limited resource?’ was transformational for the students. It moved cost accounting from a formula-based approach to a strategic decision-making tool. Several students commented that this was the moment when accounting stopped feeling procedural and started feeling managerial,” Stajkovic said.

This was also a standout moment for Stamps, who had done a brief analysis of unit cost and profit margin on a couple of her products when she began. “My assumption about the bread was actually incorrect, and it caused me to think about ways to drive more sales with certain products that I wasn’t previously considering,” she said.

8 bits of advice from business professionals

‘Exactly what experiential learning is meant to do’

The Office of Corporate Relations & Economic Engagement serves to connect organizations and entrepreneurs with �� . talent, tools and technology. Those seeking consultation and collaboration may reach out to OCREE with questions.

These collaborations distinguish �� students’ applied, experiential learning from a traditional education, as they give back to the community and fuel their careers with real-world experience before graduation.

Cost accounting students presented their findings at the end of their project. / Kayla Stajkovic

One of the most meaningful parts of this project for Stajkovic was watching students gain confidence. “Many began the semester unsure about cost accounting. By the end, they were defending recommendations to a real business owner using data they had analyzed themselves. That growth — from uncertainty to ownership — is exactly what experiential learning is meant to do,” she said.

Business administration senior Emanuel Sanchez, of St. Paul, was surprised by the confidence he gained. “This project changed how I approach business problems by shifting my focus away from finding a single ‘correct’ answer to making informed decisions with incomplete information. I strengthened my analytical skills, particularly in applying accounting tools to real-world situations and clearly explaining financial results,” he said.

Business administration junior Allison Lindner, of Stratford, thinks the project reinforced the idea that business decisions and analysis are not all about correct calculations and costs, but rather communication, informed judgment and thinking beyond the box.

“Overall, it has furthered my collaborative skills, ability to ask open-ended questions and assumptions, and understanding of the numbers in real operational challenges,” she said.

The students saw how messy real data can be, which is something no textbook can fully teach. “The experience changes how the students view their education. They began to understand that the numbers they learned in class can directly impact someone ��. livelihood,” Stajkovic said. “For the business, even one useful insight can be meaningful. Those partnerships may be smaller in scale, but they are incredibly high in impact — for both sides.”

For Stamps, it was a fun, informative and mutually beneficial project. “It would be interesting to revisit some of these calculations in two or three years when Edgewood Bakeshop is further established to see what ��. shifted and how the business has grown,” she said, adding that giving students interested in becoming business owners a “day in the life” might also be insightful for future business classes.

As the spring semester flies by, upcoming graduating seniors are often asked that ever-looming question, “So, what are your plans after commencement?” Many �� students already have their answer, with 99% employed or pursuing additional degrees within six months of graduation.

Some students answer the question confidently with, “I’m starting my own business.” But where do they begin?

Business administration Lecturer Kayla Stajkovic and entrepreneur Bekah Stamps, owner of Edgewood Bakeshop, a popular artisanal bakeshop in downtown Chetek, combined their knowledge to pool some advice for students – or anyone – seeking to start their own business.

Tips for Young Entrepreneurs

Start with the problem, not the product. Strong ventures begin with a deep understanding of a real need. Spend time observing, listening and understanding who you’re serving before building the solution.
Start small, be adaptable and always curious. While researching and knowing what you want for your business is important, taking action is the only thing that will move the needle forward.
Progress beats perfection. You don’t need a perfect launch. Pilot ideas, gather feedback and adjust. Entrepreneurship is iterative — learning speed often matters more than initial perfection. You can have a plan and an idea on how you want things to go, and inevitably, something will come along that will cause you to have to pivot or find solutions.
Accept failures with humility and use them to grow. As a wise person once said, “There are no such things as problems, only solutions waiting to happen.”
Know your numbers, even if you’re not a numbers person. You don’t have to be an accountant, but you do need financial awareness. Understanding cash flow, pricing and sustainability protects your vision long term.
Build relationships, not just revenue. Connections and collaboration are essential to a successful business. Customers, mentors, community partners and collaborators are your real infrastructure. Strong networks create resilience and opportunity. If you have a business idea, reach out, network and don’t be shy.
Treat people as you would want to be treated. When your business scales to a place where you have a team, that team will move mountains for you if you set the right example.
Expect discomfort and grow through it. Entrepreneurship requires making decisions with uncertainty, receiving feedback and adapting quickly. The discomfort is not a sign you’re failing — it ��. often a sign you’re building something meaningful.

How has �� prepared you to work in your field?

�� has prepared me exceptionally well through its hands-on, applied learning model. I particularly valued the collaborative projects and lab experiences where theoretical knowledge was applied to real-world problems.

Zaid Abdullah conducts research in the Supply Chain Study Room.

What challenges did you face in earning your degree and how did you overcome them?

Moving to a new country, adapting to a new language and culture, and balancing full-time work with rigorous coursework were significant challenges. Additionally, I experienced unexpected financial setbacks when I lost eligibility for some scholarships after transferring to the graduate program.

I overcame these challenges through perseverance, effective time management and a commitment to continuous learning. My dedication to both professional and academic growth allowed me to remain focused and resilient.

What are you most proud of as you finish your degree?

I am most proud of successfully navigating an international transition while excelling academically and professionally. Becoming a U.S. citizen is a personal milestone that reflects my journey and perseverance. Completing my M.S. degree, achieving certifications such as the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and making a measurable impact on my professional roles are achievements I hold dearly.
