Wichita is a brilliant tapestry of small businesses, national corporations, artistic endeavors, and nonprofit organizations. At Friends University, we don’t just aim to be simply located in Wichita, but to learn how to thrive in and serve the city of Wichita, and especially the business community.
The CECE will combine community action and service with experiential learning activities to propel students on a pathway to their profession, all within the context of the Christian mission.
The types of projects could include, data collection and analysis, market research, program evaluation, accounting projects and business plan development. Students will opt in to work with the center, gaining important knowledge and real-world experience.
The CECE was established via a generous gift from a private donor in order to mobilize Friends University students majoring in business (and additional fields, as appropriate) to meet the needs of the Wichita community while simultaneously gaining valuable practical experience related to their field of study.
If you or your company have projects that you would like assistance with, please reach out to the Center’s Director, Rachel Steiner.
