EMU speaker to talk about buyouts, entrepreneurship in Ypsilanti

Eastern Michigan University has a few ideas about what locals can do with their buyout checks – start their own business.

The university's College of Business is hosting entrepreneur Robert J. Skandalaris on Friday morning for its "Breakfast with the Dean" series.

Skandalaris isn't exactly a household name but he has lived the life that most people would remember. He founded Noble International, a tech company listed on the NASDAQ that specializes in supplying laser-welded blanks and structural tube parts to the automotive industry.

Quantum Ventures of Michigan is another notch on his belt. The company acquires and development of middle-market firms. He also wrote "Rebuilding the American Dream," a book about innovation and entrepreneurship.

He will be speaking about "the economy and its impact on the buyout world."

The event will begin at 7:30 a.m. and will take place in room 114 of the College of Business, 300 W. Michigan Ave. in downtown Ypsilanti. Free parking is available in the college’s parking structure on Pearl Street. For information, call Shirley Wentz at (734) 487-4140.
