INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL OPPORTUNITY FOR BUSINESS MAJORS
Our partner campus in Mikkeli, Finland, has offered us 4 places for business majors in their summer camp, which runs from May 7to May 22, 2018. The focus of the camp is on digital marketing and includes potential topics of intercultural communication and teambuilding, market analysis and segmentation, content marketing and channels, pitching ideas, a 12 hour challenge camp, group presentations, and a final seminar. Students attending will have a social event each week and will have assignments from local firms in Mikkeli. The whole program will be in English. There are students from other international schools, and faculty from other international schools, attending, with a total of 30 students anticipated.
The Mikkeli campus is providing lodging and 1 meal a day AT NO COST TO YOU. YOU would pay for your other meals, a train ticket to and from Mikkeli from Helsinki (about 30 euros each way), your airline ticket, and other incidentals you may want to purchase. The airline ticket will likely be about $1,000, and the College of Business will reimburse $500 of that AFTER your trip. You would also sign up for 3 credits of business electives (MKT, MGT, etc).
There will be pre-assignments that must be done before the camp starts. The camp will be two intensive weeks with weekends off.
