The Miami HEAT has teamed up with Florida Memorial University to launch a Leadership & Development program. The mission of the program is to prepare college students to become young professionals who can impact and be of value early in their careers through the implementation of a professional curriculum, roundtables, and mentorship program.
Shane Battier (VP of Basketball Development & Analytics), Michael McCullough (EVP/CMO), Jason Jackson (HEAT Television Host & Courtside Reporter), and Dr. Jaffus Hardrick (FMU President) were on hand Monday at FMU for the official program kickoff.
Florida Memorial University is the only Historically Black College and University in the South Florida area, home to key milestones along the civil rights journey.
