Give Your Kids the Smith Business Edge
The Smith School is excited to introduce Smith Business Edge, an intensive six-week summer program that provides non-business undergraduate students and recent graduates -- from any school! -- with opportunities to build stronger leadership skills and business acumen. Smith Business Edge leverages the strengths of the Smith School’s world-leading undergraduate and graduate programs to offer a solid understanding of accounting, finance, marketing and management as taught by the school’s dynamic faculty. Participants will also engage with guest speakers, in group projects, and visit businesses such as Southwest Airlines, IKEA and Harley-Davidson to further bring lessons to life. Please pass on this opportunity to your family and friends -- space is limited, so act quickly!
