Fogelman College of Business and Economics

Inaugural Program Offers Rising High School Juniors and Seniors a Unique College Experience, June 24-June 28

ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½, TN – February 27, 2019. University of ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ Fogelman College of Business and Economics has developed a comprehensive five-day business program for Shelby County Schools (SCS) high school students who will be juniors and seniors in fall 2019. The FCBE-Summer Business Institute program is an initiative created by Dr. Marla Stafford, interim dean of the college, and supported by the Peer Power Foundation.

The pre-college program is a first offering for high school students at FCBE, University of ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½. "We want to begin closing the gap between high school and college for students, make the transition easier, and inspire and show them the resources in ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ such as our business concentrations, career paths, networking, entrepreneurship, emerging technology and a glimpse of U of M campus life. These selected students will understand the opportunity when they spend the five days on real world business issues and then see their name on a business card," said Dr. Stafford.

To apply, students must complete an application which will be available from March 1 until June 3, 5 p.m. CST, at memphis.edu/fcbe-sbi, or until spaces are filled. Applications are reviewed and accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Cost to those students accepted is $50.

For more information, please email fcbe-sbi@memphis.edu, or visit the FCBE SBI website.
