Representatives from Speedway recently visited campus to talk about their recent $2,000 donation to the College of Business.
Since December 2017, Speedway, through its parent company, Marathon Petroleum Co., has donated a total of $6,000 to ECU’s College of Business. This year’s gift will benefit the College’s Department of Management.
Speedway, already the official convenience store of the Pirates, says it also is committed to supporting academics since that is the company’s pipeline for future talent. Speedway offers ECU College of Business students paid internships and graduates the opportunity to enroll in its leadership training program.
Thank you, Speedway. #EveryGiftMatters!
ECU’s College of Business is located in Greenville, North Carolina and currently has more than 28,000 alumni throughout the United States. It’s one of the largest colleges of business in North Carolina.
