Wachovia Scholars Program
Business at Moore Summer Camp
This coming summer, June 21-27, 2008, Wachovia Bank
and the University of South Carolina Moore School of Business will invite 30 high-achieving high
school juniors from under-represented groups to participate in the second annual Wachovia
Scholars Business at Moore summer program. This program brings students to campus for one week,
enabling them to discover the many opportunities available in business. It also gives the students
a chance to meet other high school students from throughout the state, as well as current Moore
School of Business students and faculty.
Thanks to our sponsor, Wachovia Bank, this program is available at no cost to the student. Through the program's classes and activities, the student will have the opportunity to:
- learn the essentials of how a business operates
- learn how executives make business decisions
- find out what types of jobs are available in business
- talk with former USC students and business executives
- interact with employees of Wachovia Bank
In addition to attending business classes and working on a group project, the students experience dorm life and some of the entertainment venues near campus. During the Summer 2007 program, students got a taste of the local restaurants including Lizard's Thicket and Shane's Rib Shack and let off steam at the AMF Park Lanes bowling alley and Frankie's Fun Park. (A complete list of the businesses that helped to make the 2007 program a success and a photo gallery are included below.)
Students who attend the Wachovia Scholars Business at Moore summer program and enroll in the Moore School of Business, University of South Carolina, are eligible for a renewable four-year Wachovia Scholars Scholarship.
