Those in the hall can be good inspiration for business students.

"They're all legends in their own right,” said Dr. Dan Edelman, MSUB Chancellor. “They're all super people. They've done a lot for community. They put others before themselves. They lead by example. They're hard workers and they're all ethical people. I'm really impressed by that and I hope our students can see that and I hope they carry on the tradition."

The banquet also is a fundraiser for scholarships for MSUB students.
