Wells Fargo has teamed up with Bethune-Cookman University to invest in growing small businesses in Volusia County and beyond.

The Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (CEED) recently opened on the B-CU campus to generate new opportunities created by students and neighboring residents. On Saturday, Nov. 2, Wells Fargo presented university administrators with a $55,000 grant. The funding will be used to conduct a feasibility study and pinpoint key business opportunities for the region.

For more information about CEED, contact B-CU�s Office of Institutional Advancement by calling (386) 481-2951.
