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).

“Scholars and artists thrown together are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ. Both work from knowledge; but I suspect they differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by. Scholars get theirs with conscientious thoroughness along projected lines of logic; poets theirs cavalierly and as it happens in and out of books. They stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Oh Death he is a little man,
And he goes from do’ to do’ ...”
