Cincinnati Campus Partners with the National Black MBA Association of Cincinnati
CINCINNATI, OHIO , December 11, 2008 — University of Phoenix Cincinnati campus and the National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA) of Cincinnati have formed a partnership to promote intellectual and economic wealth among African Americans. The partnership grew out of both organizations’ commitment and dedication to the African American community. In fact, University of Phoenix confers more master’s degrees to minority students than any other university and is the number one graduate degree producer for African American students, producing the equivalent of the top seven historically black colleges and universities.
Both organizations will work together on increasing financial awareness and literacy by hosting free monthly seminars for all members of the NBMBAA. The seminars will begin in January of 2009 at the West Chester, Ohio and Florence, Ky. University of Phoenix campuses.
“We are proud to be entering into a partnership with the National Black MBA Association of Cincinnati,” said Chris Montagnino, Campus Director of the University of Phoenix Cincinnati/Dayton campus. “There are many African Americans in the Cincinnati area who want to improve their lives through education and this partnership can help achieve those goals”
“National Black MBA Association--Cincinnati Chapter is excited to be entering into this new partnership,” said Michele Heath, President of National Black MBA Association of Cincinnati. “It’s great to be working with an organization that understands the importance of the financial literacy program and how it will positively impact our community.”
