On Wednesday, February 18th at 6pm in room N100 Business College Complex, 19 teams will come together across 10 colleges and 26 academic majors to compete in the final round of the annual Black History Month Multicultural Heroes Hall of Fame Case Competition. Multicultural Business Programs and Altria Group Distribution Company sponsor the competition, and the afterglow reception.
Multicultural Business Programs will be celebrating 14 years of MSU students sharing the stories of multicultural heroes, such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and Paul Robeson. Audience members will be eligible for winning over $300 in prizes during the competition. Each team presenting will consist of three MSU undergraduates who have selected a multicultural hero, and will have 10 minutes to make a case about why their hero should be inducted into the Hall of Fame. The winning team is selected by a panel of MSU faculty and will receive a $2000 cash grand prize. This year’s judges are Paulette Granberry Russell, Senior Advisor to the President for Diversity and Director of the Office for Inclusion & Intercultural Initiatives; Dr. Lee June, Vice President for Student Affairs and Services Emeritus and Professor, MSU Honors College; and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Acting Dean of the Eli Broad College of Business.
