Hoya Summer High School Information Session Webinar
Wednesday, Nov. 19, 4–5 p.m. ET
This information session will review our three programs: Non-Credit Academies, College Prep, and Summer College. We want to ensure that our prospective students are confident in their choice while planning their summer at Georgetown. We will provide an overview of each program and its respective application processes.
Explore the advantages and challenges of managing your own enterprise in the Entrepreneurship Academy. Our two-week program takes an in-depth look at choosing a start-up, prototype testing, market research, social innovation, global business, and the operations of running your own business. You will have opportunities to hear from and interact with experienced entrepreneurs across different industries to learn about what it takes to become successful in any career path.
Bridging theory and practice, you will learn the basics of design thinking and brainstorming; mold your ideas into strong, promising business plans; and participate in teams in a final pitch competition. With an emphasis on personal development, our program incorporates practical, hands-on experience to help you build and improve your public speaking and communications skills, networking strategies, and team-building techniques, all while exploring the world of entrepreneurship.
