Utah
Business Week (UBW) is the most unique opportunity you’llever have
to learn about the American free-enterprise system
and what it takes
to successfully operate a business. Along the
way, you’ll have experiences
and make friends you will never
forget.
Every summer, selected students from
throughout Utah gather
to work as teams guiding imaginary “companies” to
financial
success. Using a computerized business simulation, you and your
team will
develop competitive marketing plans, learn to balance
inventories and production, manage
a business budget - in short,
all the decisions typically needed
to operate a business.
You’ll also get to associate with and
learn from some of Utah’s
business leaders. You’ll hear top-quality speakers
and participate
in candid, informal discussions and industry tours. A volunteer
business
professional will act as your individual “company
advisor” to guide your
group through this whirlwind week.
Although UBW is very demanding and
structured, you will also
enjoy the experience of spending a week
on a college campus;
becoming friends with students in a variety
of social settings;
competing against other companies in exciting team-building
recreational activities;
and having TONS OF FUN!
WHEN AND WHERE?
Utah Business Week will
begin the afternoon of Sunday, August
1, and conclude the morning
of Saturday, August 7, 2004. It
will be held on Utah
State University’s beautiful campus in Logan,
Utah. UBW provides a real
college-life experience as you will
live and dine on campus during
the week. USU dormitory facilities
have been reserved and meals will
be served in the student center.
WHO CAN APPLY?
High school sophomores
and juniors are eligible to apply for
Utah Business Week. You
must
have a sincere interest
in becoming part of an
intense and serious
weeklong
learning experience. A
specific interest in pursuing
a business career is not
necessary;
however, you
should be willing to
participate in a rigorous,
structured and fun
program that will help you learn about and
understand the role
of business in your life – with some daily
free time
for “networking,” of course. Since you are required
to stay on
campus at all times, you may use some of the
oncampus
recreational facilities.
