QCC Teams Up with Auxilium and Rucker Foundation to Launch On-Campus Entrepreneurship Center
QCC President Dr. Luis Pedraja announced on Talk of the Commonwealth that the Auxilium Center for Entrepreneurship is coming to campus. It is made possible by the Cliff and Susan Rucker Foundation and, in partnership with Auxilium, located in downtown Worcester, will allow students to learn about entrepreneurship. The partnership will offer students access to resources through a generous $100,000 a year gift from the Ruckers for at least three years, allowing for the hiring of a director and future growth. It will be a shared vision that will help create new businesses. Pedraja calls it a wonderful opportunity for QCC students and the city of Worcester.
