TSU student Anthony Collier and his team won first place in an international business competition. But he says his future is in community activism.

The International Competition for Entrepreneurs awards undergrad students for their business plan pitches.

This year, Texas Southern University was not only the first HBCU – historically black college or university – to be admitted to the competition, but it produced the winner.

For this week's Bauer Business Focus, News 88.7's Florian Martin spoke with Anthony Collier, whose five-student team won first place for coming up with marketing a cell phone chip called RadBlok that reduces potentially harmful radiation.

Collier says he is a community activist first, a businessman second.
