Cummins Inc., a global power leader, is a corporation of complementary business segments that design, manufacture, distribute and service a broad portfolio of power solutions. Based in Columbus, Indiana, with a distribution headquarters in Indianapolis, Cummins is known worldwide for its general excellence, quality, innovation and great corporate citizenship. Cummins has been a long-time partner of education in the state of Indiana and has long demonstrated a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I).
In the summer of 2023, Cummins supported and helped launch the Business Plus program at the IU Kelley School of Business, Indianapolis. Kelley Business Plus is a summer preparatory program that engages 20-25 first year IUPUI students, primarily those from historically underrepresented groups, who are interested in earning a Kelley business degree. Through this selective leadership program, Kelley students receive the academic preparation, professional development, and scholarships needed to excel and achieve their goals. Cummins provided financial support, mentorship, case judges, and an on-site corporate visit. This support will inevitably help Kelley expand the program in future years.
