QC and LaGuardia Community College jointly launched a small business development outreach center at QC as part of LaGuardia’s SBDC in 2019, with support from U.S. Congresswoman Grace Meng
Flushing, NY, March 26, 2024—Queens College President Frank H. Wu has named Ying Zhou interim associate director of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Queens College Outreach Center, a satellite site of the LaGuardia Community College SBDC. Zhou will work part time in her new role and continue to serve as the executive director of the Tech Incubator at Queens College (TIQC), where she began in 2016. In a unique partnership, Queens College and LaGuardia Community College jointly established an SBDC presence on the Queens College campus in 2019, with support from U.S. Congresswoman Grace Meng (D-Queens).
“The college is deeply fortunate to have Ying Zhou assume the position of interim associate director of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Queens College Outreach Center,” said Wu. “Ying’s more than five years’ experience as executive director of the Tech Incubator at Queens College (TIQC) uniquely positions her to effectively increase the center’s engagement with local small businesses in District #6 so that they might benefit from the center’s free resources. Ying will also be able to build on the community relationships that she continues to forge through her work at TIQC, which is thriving under her leadership. We expect that she’ll be able to hit the ground running on a campaign to raise awareness of the small business development outreach center among constituents who may not yet be aware of what the QC location has to offer.”
