Has anyone attended the Mercy College Business Leadership Academy? What was your experience like?
I’m interested in this discussion. I have a phone interview with them today.
My son did and it was a WONDERFUL experience. At first he did simply as a resume builder, but now as a HS senior, he has applied to the Business Honors Program. I must say its a very impressive program. During his week at the academy, the students prepared a “Ted Talk” that they presented to the faculty at the end of the week. During the week, they visited the Ernst & Young and LinkedIn offices. My son came home a completely different (for the better!) person. The faculty have all had amazing careers in business at Investment banks, and Fortune 500 companies and are now at Mercy to “give back”. Not to mention, Dean Ed Weis is simply an amazing person. The faculty helps to directly and personally use their connections to help graduates get placed in their “dream jobs” and mentors their students directly and personally during their college years. Students attend the Academy from around the nation, and even internationally. My son’s week 1 academy had kids from CA, FL, Mid-West and even Luxenbourg and Dominican Republic! All the attendees that we met were polite, intelligent, outgoing, and fun! Highly recommend!!!
