The Keenan Center Advantage

Celestin Abwe ’23 thought of the idea for his business, Clutch Delivery, during his first year at Le Moyne. As he and his friends were inside Nelligan Hall, watching the swirling snow outside, he wished someone could deliver food from the Dolphin Den to his dorm. He wondered if college students would be interested in making deliveries from on-campus and off-campus restaurants to places on campus. In 2023, Clutch Delivery was one of five businesses selected by CenterState CEO to take part in the Syracuse Surge Accelerator program. Celestin was mentored by Mike D’Eredita, Ph.D., director of the Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Creativity.
