This summer, Brown University and Hult International Business School will partner again to bring an online Business Bootcamp course to undergraduate students. This time, rather than making the course available to just Brown University students, other students from competitive colleges and universities from around the country will have the same opportunity.<\/p>\n
They will be able to participate in a six-week business experience where they’ll be tasked to devise a strategy for a multi-billion dollar, multi-national company\u2014Grupo Bimbo. The company is widely known for\u00a0its baked goods and brands such as Sara Lee, Entenmanns, and Thomas\u2019 English Muffins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Business Bootcamp course will run online from June 20 – August 5, 2022, and will be co-taught by Hult Professors Larry Louie and Tessa Misiaszek, as well as Brown Professor Robin Rose.<\/p>\n It’s purpose is to give undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in intensive business-centered activities that allow them to learn about different disciplines such as marketing, financial acumen, strategy and apply what is learned in the classroom to a real client.<\/p>\n Participants and organizers have been vocal in their support of the business bootcamp and it’s benefits on students’ business acumen, with a focus on skills that are relevant in a modern business environment:<\/p>\n “<\/b>I really enjoy the hands on aspect of it, and being able to apply the concepts directly to a real life problem.” <\/b>–\u00a0Brown Student<\/p>\n
