Participating in Chamber “U” will be: the University of Delaware, Delaware State University, Wilmington University , Delaware Technical and Community College, Wesley College and Goldey Beacom College .

      According to New Castle County Chamber of Commerce President, Mark Kleinschmidt, “we are very excited about this new program.
