CES Projects
PHASE 1:
CES Storefront
The Center for Entrepreneurial Studies Storefront serves as both a gift store open to the community and a laboratory, where our students can learn the skills to operate their own store. Proceeds from the store go back into the program.
Our store is open and receiving business!
Who We Are
The administration and staff of CES are dedicated to each and every individual who are a part of our program. We strive to support our student entrepreneur's in any way we can. We are passionate about entrepreneurship and believe in our mission.
Diversity and Inclusion Policy
