In March, we launch the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Alumni Business Directory<\/strong>, giving our community the chance to support alumni entrepreneurs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need your help getting started: let us know if you are a Bobcat business owner by completing our submission form<\/a>. We will also highlight alumni businesses on our page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In honor of Black History Month, we will start by celebrating businesses owned by Black ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumni. If you are a Black ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alum who owns your own business, please submit for consideration in a future feature.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
