Bedell Entrepreneurship Learning Laboratory
The Bedell Entrepreneurship Learning Laboratory (BELL) is an applied learning environment for advanced entrepreneurship students pursuing the creation of a new business. Individual students and teams will receive dedicated office space in a newly remodeled 10,000 SF facility, enabling them to concentrate on developing their business concepts. Because the facility is an extension of the entrepreneurship programs offered by JPEC, students will also receive intensive mentoring and a variety of other assistance from JPEC and SBDC faculty and staff.
