The Fourth Annual Entrepreneur Day, presented by UTM's chapter of SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise offered another round of lessons and more stories of trial and success in entrepreneurship.

The Legislative Chamber of the UC was the site of the day's events, which boasted three entrepreneurs as guest speakers. These were Debbie Gordon of Jamili, Inc., Cheri Childress of Subway, and Barbara Hale from The Cookie Florist.

Gordon spoke first on "Entrepreneurship: The Myths and the Magic." Childress was the second speaker of the day, and the title of her speech was, "Start Small; Finish Big." Finally, Hale spoke on the topic, "The Perks and Quirks of a Family Owned Business." After all three had spoken, they formed a panel and fielded questions from the audience.

The event, co-sponsored by the Hendrix Chair of Excellence in Free Enterprise and the Oldham Center for Entrepreneurship, was successful with many UTM Business students attending the day's events. Scott Carpenter, a senior Business Management major, said, "I think it is great for management students to get a chance to see what opportunities are out there and to hear from veteran entrepreneurs about how to capitalize on those opportunities."
