Multicultural Business Programs is accepting team applications for the
15th Annual Black History Month Multicultural Heroes Hall of Fame Case Competition until Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at 4 PM.
Applications are available online at http://www.mbp.broad.msu.edu or at 417 Eppley Center. The grand prize for the competition is $2000.
Teams must consist of three MSU undergraduates. The competition is open to all MSU undergraduates enrolled in spring semester 2016.
Each team selects a multicultural hero from the list provided on the application. A team has 10 minutes to make their case including a biographical overview, how their hero has carried and passed the torch of justice, how their hero contributed to the struggle for human rights, the relationship between their hero and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and why he/she should be inducted into the Hall of Fame. The winning team is selected by a panel of judges and will receive a $2000 grand prize.
The final round of the competition will take place on Wednesday, February 17, 2016 from 6 PM-8 PM in N100 Business College Complex with a reception following. Multicultural Business Programs and Altria Group Distribution Company sponsor the competition.
In the past fourteen years the Multicultural Heroes Case Competition has awarded over $35,000 in prizes and 426 students have participated. Last year Samuel Floyd, a supply chain management junior, Ariel Jordan, a neuroscience junior, and Ashley Oommen, a neuroscience junior, won the competition with a presentation about Eleanor Roosevelt, the human rights activist and American First Lady.
