About
Encouragement Speaker Derrick Hayes used three packs of hotdogs to help start a business while as a freshman at Tennessee State University. Earning money on his own while in college gave Derrick the inspiration he needed to begin teaching other people how to run a business.
Before graduation Derrick realized that some students were not able to finish school because of financial hardships. This revelation inspired Derrick to help start The Wall of Excellence Scholarship and Development Fund that has helped raise over $500,000.00 so that College of Business students can continue their education.
Hayes saw the need to encourage and students and staff to network and BUILD Relationships.
