Extractions: MESSAGE FROM MAC Dear Friends of Ohio State: I recently had the opportunity to report to the university's Board of Trustees about the development and growth of educational diversity at Ohio State. In a panel discussion with Christine Ballengee-Morris, director of our Multicultural Center, and john a. powell, director of the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, we all agreed that Ohio State is on the right track but we must continue our commitment and enhance our efforts in this everchanging climate. I reminded the board that the focus of diversity at Ohio State has been directed toward the recruitment and retention of minority students, and then provided a look back at some of the university's milestones. I also conveyed my belief that our quest for diversity should be considered a journey rather than a goal, a path that continuously changes as we better understand the changing world surrounding us. Progress on this journey can be difficult to measure, but national indicators, along with aggressive recruiting and our own careful monitoring, prove that academic excellence and diversity can be jointly attained, as prescribed in the university's Diversity Action Plan. Ohio State's success has been noted in many publications and journals, including Hispanic Outlook, which ranks Ohio State 17th nationally in the number of doctorates awarded to Hispanics, based on the latest available data. Last year, the university ranked 37th. And the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, citing a 150 percent increase over four years, recently ranked Ohio State highest among the nation's 25 leading business schools in the percentage of African Americans enrolled.

Extractions: Leveraging the Supply Chain To Drive New Business Strategies New York, New York, October 20 Corporate executives representing some of the worlds largest purchasing organizations and thousands of the best minority businesses in America will seek greater opportunities to do business at the NMSDC Conference at McCormick Place from October 26-29 The Conference theme is " Minority Businesses and Corporate America: Leveraging Alliances to Energize the Global Economy. This year, Americas biggest corporations will spend more than $70 billion to buy goods and services from minority business enterprises (MBEs). Minorities represent 28% of the population in the U.S. but minority-owned businesses represent only 15% of total businesses and 4% of total corporate purchases. However, minority businesses are one of the fastest growing business segments and play an increasingly important role in job creation and economic growth. As global competition leads corporations to improve financial performance and become more customer-focused, they are working with their minority suppliers to build capacity to compete for larger contracts, says Harriet R. Michel, NMSDC president. Minority businesses can be a true strategic resource within the supply chain.
