Registration Open for E.S.C.A.P.E. Summer Camp
The deadline is approaching to register for the Entrepreneurship Summer Camp and Personal Enrichment program (E.S.C.A.P.E.). E.S.C.A.P.E. is designed to give high school students with a passion for business an understanding and appreciation for the process of starting a business and maintaining ethical business practices. Our goal is to educate as well as inspire the young entrepreneur.
E.S.C.A.P.E., brought to you by the International Institute for Franchise Education at the Huizenga Business School, is open to highly motivated students currently in grades 9-12 who have a passion for business and wish to learn more about entrepreneurship.
2011 E.S.C.A.P.E. scholarship recipients (L-R): Nicole Peterson, a junior from St. Thomas Aquinas High School; André Samuels, a junior from Nova High School; and Sydney Madrigal, a junior from South Plantation High School.
Each day is packed with lectures from NSU professors and South Florida business leaders, lively discussions, and interactive exercises. Topics include: Introduction to entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation; Developing a business plan; Formulating a marketing plan; Financial planning; and Leadership skills, business etiquette, and presentation of business plans to real CEOs.
Campers will also get a sense of college life when they visit the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship, the Alvin Sherman Library, the Don Taft Student Center, and take a tour of the campus. They will also get an opportunity to hear from a panel of Huizenga School entrepreneurship students.
The cut-off date for applications for June is approaching, and the cut-0ff for July is July 11. Class size is limited to ensure participation in discussions and activities. Students are encouraged to apply at: www.huizenga.nova.edu/ExecEd/ESCAPE/
