Professor Jerry Davis of the Ross School of Business recently delivered a lecture at the School of Social Work, focusing on the equitable implementation of green energy initiatives and the importance of engaging small business owners in Detroit. The lecture, part of the Poverty Solutions series, highlighted the need for collaboration and tangible impact in addressing poverty.
Davis emphasized the significance of working with small business owners in Detroit to make a real difference in the community. He discussed the importance of translating complex information about green energy and other resources into plain English, making it accessible and actionable for small businesses.
To support this effort, U-M students conducted interviews with business owners and created an online how-to guide. The guide includes information on saving money through green energy, securing low-cost healthcare, and accessing funding opportunities. By providing practical resources, Davis and the students aim to empower small business owners and promote equitable economic growth.
The lecture offered a unique perspective on poverty solutions, focusing on the economic and business aspects. By integrating green energy initiatives and engaging small business owners, Davis advocates for a holistic approach to addressing poverty and creating a more sustainable future.
