Norfolk State University Hosts Entrepreneurial Days 2002

Norfolk, Va.-Governor Mark Warner will bring the keynote luncheon address for Norfolk State University's Entrepreneurial Days 2002 at 12:30 p.m., Thursday, April 18 in the Scott-Dozier Dining Hall. The Governor's address will highlight a two-day event designed to introduce students to high-powered and highly visible business leaders from around the state and nation. Thursday's program begins at 9:30 a.m. with an opening keynote address from Robert W. Smith, III, controller for the Ford Motor Company. Smith, a major general in the U.S. Army Reserve, was recently featured in Fortune Magazine.

Norfolk State University received a $50,000 grant from the AMERIGROUP Foundation to fund a Leaders Forum in the School of Business. The AMERIGROUP Leaders Forum will have three distinguished speakers this year who will discuss the intricacies of business including entrepreneurship, strategic marketing, supply chain management and other topics of interest.

Thursday's event is the first Leaders Forum and is being held in conjunction with NSU's Cluster program. The Cluster program is an alliance of business, industry and government partners that work to ensure the highest quality education and professional experiences for students and faculty. The national Cluster program was founded in 1968 by the National Alliance of Business to assist historically black colleges and universities with the technical, financial and professional resources of the business sector.

More than 200 students from NSU, Tidewater Community College and area high schools are expected to attend.

Tickets for the AMERIGROUP Leaders Forum luncheon are $50 or $500 per table. For more information, please call 757/823-8373
