Harvard Business School Summer Venture in Management Program
Application Deadline: May 9, 2008
The Summer Venture in Management Program (SVMP) hosted by Harvard Business
School [http://www.hbs.edu/mba/svmp/]
is a week of HBS instruction (June 21-27, 2008) that exposes high-potential
college students in the summer between their junior and senior year to the
HBS MBA experience and the variety of opportunities a degree in management
can afford. This twenty-year HBS tradition demonstrates the many rewards of
an MBA degree to students who may not otherwise have considered this path.
Participants spend a week on campus living the MBA student experience –
attending classes, analyzing case studies, and debating management issues
with peers and faculty.
This unique educational experience, in combination
with a summer internship at a sponsoring company or organization, gives
participants a broader understanding of the challenges business leaders
face, the innumerable opportunities that exist in management, and the impact
they can have on their community and the world through leadership.
Participants will be selected based on academic
achievement, demonstrated leadership, and personal characteristics.
Consistent with the objective of promoting educational diversity and
opportunity in business leadership, additional criteria to be considered
among others, are whether the applicant is:
• the first family member to attend college;
• a member of a group that is currently underrepresented in business schools
and corporate America (e.g. African-American, Latino, Native American,
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender);
• from a family with little business education or experience; and/or
• from a school whose graduates do not typically attend a top-tier
university ( e.g., attends a rural or predominantly minority college, or has
attended a community college as part of a four-year degree).
The SVMP Application is now available online. The
deadline is May 9, 2008. To apply, and for more info about this program,
