More than 100 attended the inaugural Diversity in Small Business Symposium sponsored by the Old National bank Center for Business Excellence at the Lacy School of Business. Attendees heard from and engaged with community leaders, minority founders and business owners along with student interns assisting in their success through experiential education.

The 2022 MOBI Cohort was featured in the second annual Lacy School of Business Pre-Kwanzaa Celebration. The marketplace event encourages participants to shop, engage and celebrate small businesses, community and student-led organizations honoring African-American heritage and the holiday annually celebrated December 26-January 1.

Culturally diverse business owners are encouraged to apply for the next MOBI cohort. Applications typically open late Spring. Contact Anthony Murdock II, MOBI Faculty Director for more information.
