recently recognized as a business diversity
leader by Corp! Magazine.

"The diversity of the campus is one of the reasons I was interested in coming to Eastern Michigan University," said Martin. "EMU is representative of the positive impact diversity can have in expanding the education of students outside of the classroom. I am proud to be a part of that."

"As we all know, diversity is practiced at many levels, including race, gender, ethnicity, multiculturalism and more. This issue and awards program are a celebration of Michigan's diverse communities and businesses, which strengthens our state and is a source of pride for all of us," said Corp! Publisher Jennifer Kluge.

Diversity award winners were selected in three categories: diversity-focused company, diversity champion and diversity business leader.

Diversity business leader is defined by Corp! Magazine as an individual who is a diversity role model or top officer of a minority-owned business.

The 56 diversity award recipients will be profiled in the magazine's "Salute to Diversity" issue. Corp! Magazine, founded in 1998, is Michigan's largest business magazine. For more information, visit http://www.corpmagazine.com
