The fellowship corporation test: enFocus at its seat, and no local equivalent in the register

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

The institutions of this county did build a fellowship corporation together — in South Bend, in 2012 — and no equivalent body stands on this ground. The template, at boundary size: enFocus, short for entrepreneurial focus, launched in May 2012, founded by Notre Dame ESTEEM master's students — South Bend native Andrew Wiand and six peers — who pitched a talent incubator to local business leaders and University of Notre Dame partners; its first seven fellows were hired in August 2012 to work projects for eight South Bend partners. It is precisely the checklist's class: a talent corporation built jointly by the region's institutions to attract and retain graduates. Its seat is South Bend. The local test is the register read whole against that class: none of the seventy-three Osceola organizations is a fellowship, talent-incubator, or jointly-built institutional corporation of any description, and no equivalent was found in the district, township, or church records reached — the institutions seated on this ground (a school corporation, congregations, a historical society, service clubs) never combined into such a body. The negative is printed as the result: the class is real, its county instance is named and dated, and its Osceola instance does not exist.
