The Gill Center is the business and economic education liaison arm of Ashland University. The tenets of private enterprise, freedom of enterprise, freedom of individual choice and freedom to gain from one's efforts, are advanced.

The Mission Statement ...

One of the building blocks of a free society is a market economy where individual choice is valued and individual effort is rewarded. These concepts imply responsibility both for oneself and to the community. While we believe that freedom is natural to humans, we also believe that it must be nourished through education.

The Gill Center specifically promotes increased knowledge of the private enterprise system in its various education, public, business, and government constituencies.
