“These programs are wonderful opportunities for young people to get a jump on their college careers,” Rob Durkle, associate vice president of enrollment management, said in a release. “The new entrepreneurship and sustainability programs will immerse students in ideas and experiences typically not available at the high school level.”
Entrepreneurship 101 is offered through the School of Business Administration.
The two-week program — set for July 18-29 — will expose students in the Dayton region to local entrepreneurs and give them experience creating a business idea and making a successful pitch. They’ll have the chance to win an iPad Pro, iPad Air or iPod Touch through the summer elevator pitch competition. They also will learn the creative process of creating ideas and the Lean Canvas Model.
The cost of the program is $1,500 and students will earn three college credits in the entrepreneurship program. The program also is available to college freshmen.
