Fordham Foundry Summer Program

We'd like to make your students and their parents aware of a 1-week summer program we are running at Fordham University called, Exploring Entrepreneurship, held virtually from July 12-16.

 

During this week-long intensive, students will gain a comprehensive overview of the entrepreneurial process in a hands-on fashion. From coming up with a business idea, testing & refining, and ultimately pitching that idea to a panel of university professors and entrepreneurs, this week will prove to be a thought-provoking, skills-building, and transformative experience.

 

Applications are currently open, and we invite all interested high school juniors and seniors to apply. You can find the application form here and the flyer attached. Are there any students you think would benefit from this experience...? We'd love to have them join us!
