WBDC, WCSU Hold Ribbon Cutting for New Office in Danbury

The WBDC Danbury office at WCSU will provide entrepreneurial training.

On April 25th, 2016, the Women’s Business Development Council (WBDC), of Connecticut, and Western Connecticut State University (WCSU) Ancell School of Business officially opened the WBDC Danbury office on the WCSU West Side Campus at 43 Lake Avenue Extension, Danbury.

Dr. Clark, president of WCSU, stated, “We are very excited about this new partnership between our University and WBDC. The inter-relationship between government, business and higher education is coming together with projects like this. If we are going to move the economy forward, if we are going to move Connecticut and America forward, everyone has to participate, and I predict women will lead the way.”
