Small Business Saturday, coming this year on Nov. 29, is a good chance to focus on spending at local businesses rather than big-box retailers.<\/p>\n

Better yet, why not support businesses owned by 51ÁÔÆæ alumni? Here are a few to consider.<\/p>\n

Emerald Mills \u201904,\u00a0Diverse Dining<\/h2>\n

After some 20 years in the public health sector, Emerald Mills wanted a new career chapter, but one where she could still make a difference in the community. She fulfilled it by founding Diverse Dining<\/a>, which simultaneously fosters constructive conversations \u2013 often among people with opposing viewpoints \u2013 while also serving diners delicious meals across a spectrum of cuisines.<\/p>\n

In addition to catering meals, Diverse Dining also serves as an incubator for startup food entrepreneurs through the Diverse Dining Market in downtown Milwaukee. It houses a rotating menu of offerings from vendors who learn the dining ropes, perfect their product and grow their customer base, then head off to fully launch their businesses. It\u2019s the latest way Mills is serving the community and nurturing the seeds that were planted at 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunity to study abroad at 51ÁÔÆæ and take my first flight to Ghana cracked my world wide open,\u201d Mills said. \u201cSeeing culture, commerce and community through a global lens reshaped how I lead and serve in Milwaukee. That trip gave me the perspective that powers Diverse Dining \u2013 food as a bridge, people as the point.\u201d<\/p>\n

What began as a backyard project with Miles, Bryan Bergner\u2019s then-6-year-old son, has turned into a thriving business producing delicious, small-batch raw honey. Highlands Honey<\/a> uses bee-centric management practices to ensure the health of its 68 hives spread across southeastern Wisconsin because, as the Bergners say, happy bees make happy honey.<\/p>\n

It all started with one hive in the Milwaukee suburb of Bay View as a way to provide Miles with people skills and develop a sense of ownership. Miles sold the first batch of honey out of the back of a battery-powered toy tractor, and today, the honey is available for purchase directly through the Highlands Honey website.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy education experience at UW-Milwaukee is something that I cherish to this day,\u201d Bryan Bergner said. \u201cIt put me on the path to our current business, and I\u2019m incredibly grateful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ben Caya \u201912, Floating Flame<\/h2>\n

Ben Caya had already put his mechanical engineering degree to use by founding Spike Brewing, a homebrew beer equipment company. Now, he\u2019s expanded his small business interests to Floating Flame<\/a>, which sells portable fire pits that customers can use at cookouts, tailgating parties and yes, even boats.<\/p>\n

The self-contained, propane-powered fire pits are popular with pontoon boat owners, and Caya\u2019s customers also use them on docks, yachts and houseboats. Designed with boat safety in mind, the pits produce the warmth of a cozy, campfire atmosphere that\u2019s perfect for socializing or just chilling out. And for Caya, it\u2019s a fun way to continue exercising an entrepreneurial spirit that got its start at 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the 51ÁÔÆæ club football president for two years during my time at 51ÁÔÆæ,\u201d Caya said. \u201cThis gave me great experience in leading a diverse team but also was great for time management and prioritization.<\/p>\n

Angelica Sanchez \u201914, Cultural Cloth<\/h2>\n

Cultural Cloth<\/a> is a home goods and d\u00e9cor store offering handcrafted creations from more than 40 countries, with a particular focus on women artisans. Angelica Sanchez works directly with the artisans to provide a U.S. market for their wares, with the goal of delivering a year-round sustainable income for them. Patrons can shop online or at Cultural Cloth\u2019s two locations in Whitefish Bay and Maiden Rock, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

\u201c51ÁÔÆæ allowed me to explore my different interests and see what I liked and what I didn\u2019t like,\u201d Sanchez said. \u201cIt allowed me to take the classes I was interested in and create a career path I felt passionate about. The classes, like business classes, are paying off and it made for a very wholesome education.<\/p>\n

Gwen Barker \u201998, Sprocket Cafe<\/h2>\n

Gwen Barker and friend Julia Popovic created Sprocket Cafe<\/a>, a cozy, welcoming caf\u00e9 located in Milwaukee\u2019s Bay View neighborhood that serves up delicious drinks, sandwiches and baked goods while re-creating the sense of community she discovered at 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n

\u201c51ÁÔÆæ delivered the whole, big experience of being around other people, and teaching that you\u2019ve got to show up every day and put in the work,\u201d Barker said. \u201cAll of that builds a strong person and gives you the tools you need. 51ÁÔÆæ gave me not just the ability to succeed, but the mindset that I\u2019ve got it in me to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sam Hogerton \u201909, SRH Marketing<\/h2>\n

Sam Hogerton is a founding partner of SRH Marketing<\/a>, a Milwaukee-based marketing agency with full-service expertise across strategy, creative and media. The company partners with brands to tell sharp stories and build strong identities. It also produces independent films, including \u201cHundreds of Beavers,\u201d<\/a> which landed on the list of top movies of 2024 by the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to how 51ÁÔÆæ and Milwaukee supported my business goals, 51ÁÔÆæ was the launchpad,\u201d Hogerton said. \u201cIt\u2019s where I met my business partners and why I moved to Milwaukee \u2014 a city that embraced SRH long before we had a full team, a cool office or a client roster anyone recognized. I owe a lot to both the university and the community, which are so intertwined.\u201d<\/p>\n

More businesses in directory<\/h3>\n

You can find more Panther-owned businesses in 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Alumni Business Directory<\/a>. And if you haven\u2019t already, 51ÁÔÆæ alums and students should consider joining Panthers Connect<\/a>, the university\u2019s exclusive networking platform, which is another great way for Panthers to support Panthers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
