Remembering the past while making way for change in the Central District

August 28, 2019

A Seattle Times story profiles longtime Central District barber and business owner Earl Lancaster and his journey to keep Earl's Cuts and Styles in the neighborhood. A Seattle U program was instrumental in helping Lancaster succeed.

Students and faculty in Seattle U's RAMP-Up program, part of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center in the Albers School of Business and Economics, began working with Earl Lancaster on his business plan and loan applications in 2018, while collarborating with other community partners also involved in the project.
