Center for Entrepreneurship, Economic Development and Sustainability (CEEDS)
CEEDS identifies and drives high-impact, hands-on projects that build students’ skills, experience and confidence. These opportunities emerge from real-world business and community challenges that take shape through:
- Internships
- Economic impact and feasibility studies
- Business and idea incubation
- On-campus events: workshops, panels, guest speakers and competitions.
Students harness Salem State’s academic strengths, rich data resources, sustainability focus, and contemporary tools like AI. Partnering with faculty and North Shore leaders, students take meaningful steps toward becoming future leaders by developing solutions that matter in a rapidly changing world.
