Hanover College Business Scholars Program
Founded in 2005, the Business Scholars Program at Hanover College is an experiential business education program that lets students practice business skills and apply knowledge taught by faculty with extensive industry experience. Students admitted to the Program are called "Business Scholars". Admission into the Business Scholars Program at Hanover is competitive. In 2009, the Program admitted 48 new Business Scholars, a record number. Each Business Scholar combines a Hanover major in their area of interest with practical preparation in business and management. There are over 19 different majors represented in the Program.
In addition to traditional coursework, Business Scholars complete a project-based internship, analyze business cases, participate in a consulting project for a real business, meet with numerous executives and not-for-profit leaders and, participate in a variety of workshops, including resume writing, networking, interviewing, personal finance and creative problem solving.
The Business Scholar Program is currently led by Gerald R. Johnson, Jr., a 1969 graduate of Hanover College. Prior to joining the Program, Mr. Johnson served as chairman of the board, chief executive officer and director of Mercantile Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: MBWM).

And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”

The salients of colonial policy.
