\"\"91制片厂\u2019s John E. Simon School of Business is pleased to announce a successful completion of their Maryville Biz Camp, with students from eight high schools across Missouri and Illinois in attendance, including Marquette, Ladue Horton Watkins, Pattonville, and Edwardsville Senior High School.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The three-day on-campus business workshop was held Wednesday, July 16 through Friday, July 18, offering local area high school students early exposure to college life and business education. Hosted by Dr. Chris Gourdine and Dr. Kathleen Young, the workshop featured panels with Maryville student leaders, faculty, and alumni, as well as corporate partners such as S.M. Wilson & Company, Distribution Management, and SSM Health.<\/span><\/p>\n

During Maryville Biz Camp, students participated in team-based business problem-solving projects, culminating in a project showcase at the end of the camp, and were awarded certificates for camp participation. Along with hands-on, collaborative project work, students also explored pathways for student-to-university-to-career pipelines, engaged local business leaders, alumni, and companies, and attended resume, interviewing, and college prep sessions led by Maryville Admissions.<\/span><\/p>\n
