Congratulations once again to all of our honored recipients recognized at the 12th Annual Entrepreneurship Recognition Banquet in May. A special congratulations to our co-recipients of the Entrepreneurship Student of the Year, Charles Rinehart and Jordan Brewer. Jordan is also the College of Business Student of the Year, marking two years in a row an Entrepreneurship major has been so honored.
