Q&A: Professor Jerry Davis on B+I’s Commitment to the Detroit Business Community
Over the next 10 years, the University of Michigan plans to boost its presence in Southeast Michigan, with a special focus on Detroit. For more than 30 years, Michigan Ross has been working hand in hand with Detroit businesses, building strong connections between local entrepreneurs and the university. We asked Jerry Davis, professor of management and organizations, to answer some questions specifically about Business+Impact’s work in Detroit and how it is beneficial to business owners and students.
How has your team made a positive difference in Detroit over the past 30 years, and what are your plans to support the University’s long-term vision?
Ross has a long history of partnering with numerous local organizations, government agencies, and community leaders to support community, educational, and economic development in Detroit and Southeast Michigan.
