**EDC Team Visits Keiser University Sarasota Campus**

The Economic Development Corporation (EDC) of Sarasota County recently visited Keiser University's Sarasota campus and met with Dr. Michelle Morgan, Associate Vice Chancellor and President of the campus. Keiser University, a private, non-profit institution founded in 1977 by Chancellor Arthur Keiser, Ph.D., and Evelyn Keiser, has been a key contributor to workforce development in the Sarasota community.

Over 85% of Keiser University graduates remain in Sarasota County after completing their education, underlining the institution's strong ties to the community and its impact on local economic growth.
