As part of its 2016 Homecoming festivities, ASU hosted an Entrepreneur Summit for students.
Alabama State University welcomed several esteemed alumni in business back to campus on Tuesday, November 22, for a special Homecoming HBCU Entrepreneur Connection Summit. The theme for the event was “Empowering and Equipping Our Future Entrepreneur by Exposure, Access and Connections.”
The panel’s featured speakers included Nakima Boleware (BBVA), Terrence Baldwin (T. Baldwin Music), Natasha Cole (Go and Glow, LLC), Freddie Williams (International Ent., LLC), Kimberly Rucker (Wilmer & Lee, PA), Jamilia Brown (Virtue Technology), Adrian Walker (Sew What Embroidery), and Africa Miranda (Beauty and Digital Influencer).
“Each year Hornets swarm back to campus to provide nuggets of knowledge to our current students and we definitely appreciate what they bring to the table,” said Jeremy Hodge, director of Career Services. “The energy that is felt when alumni come back is so valuable and I know the students will gain valuable information.”
The summit provided students an opportunity to ask real-life questions about the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur. They also got a chance to hear first-hand accounts about valuable lessons learned both on and off-campus.
