Curious to know what a “day in the life” of an MBA student is like? Experience it first-hand at the Summer Venture in Management Program! SVMP is an educational program designed to give you a taste of a business education. It’s geared towards high-potential college sophomores, juniors, and seniors making an impact in their school or community. The four-day residential experience will expose participants to leadership in business and future opportunities that an MBA degree can provide.

Criteria

We are looking for students who are curious and interested in making a difference in the world. Participants are selected based on academic achievement, demonstrated leadership and their impact in the community around them.

Examples of leadership and impact in or outside of the college campus environment include, but are not limited to:

  • Serving in student government positions
  • Leading a student association or club
  • Volunteering in under-served communities
  • Working as a Residential Advisor (RA)
  • Being a team captain or other forms of athletic leadership
  • Contributing to a nonprofit organization
  • Spearheading a new initiative related to the community or culture
  • Leading a school research project
