The UT Tyler Hispanic Business Center held a certification ceremony Friday for the 40 participants of the third small business development seminar.

The seminar, taught in Spanish and designed for Hispanic small business owners and those wanting to start a business, covered the basic concepts of business.

“The UT Tyler Hispanic Business Center is very active with the Hispanic community, especially with economic development activities and student recruitment," said Dr. Isaura Flores, UT Tyler visiting professor of management and director of the center. “We are building a bridge between the Hispanic businesses and our local organizations interested in this growing market.”

Community organizations that support the business center include Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce, Better Business Bureau, Cox Communications, Southside Bank, Potter Minton and the Small Business Administration.
