What: MISSOURI BUSINESS WEEK 2008
When: June 29 - July 3, 2008
Where: The University of Missouri-Columbia
Why: To learn and have fun in one fabulous week!
Are you interested in an opportunity to explore what you might want to do professionally? Do you wish to learn about qualities all successful professionals should have? Are you currently a freshman, sophomore or junior? If your answers are yes, then MISSOURI BUSINESS WEEK (MBW) is for you.
MBW will give you a chance to do all of that, and at the same time, allow you to experience life on a college campus while you make friends with other high school students from literally everywhere in Missouri. Management and marketing are the focus, but time will also be spent on team building, leadership and your own special qualities. MBW students participate in “companies” that compete in a variety of challenges including the production of television commercials, web designs and new business profiles. A workshop about resumes and job interviews is even included. If you are admitted, you’ll work with a team of volunteer business leaders who will teach about the workplace drawing from their own expertise. At the same time, MBW is very casual and fun! A variety of recreational and sports activities on the Mizzou campus are being planned for the evenings.
Selection will be based on the quality of the completed application, good school citizenship, academic and extra-curricular activities, and a positive recommendation from a teacher or counselor. The application must be completed and faxed or mailed no later than April 18, the earlier the better. There is no application fee. Approximately 200 students will attend, and all will be awarded $500 sponsorships. A small enrollment fee is requested when students are admitted. The enrollment fee will be waived or reduced if a teacher or counselor verifies financial need; this will be confidential and will not affect admission.
A $500 college scholarship will be awarded to one MBW student at the close of the program. You may indicate on your application form that you would like more information, or you may call the MBW office at 800-403-0101. You are a potential leader of tomorrow, so deciding to apply to MBW might be one of the best choices you can make for your future.
