Q Camp

In Spring 2008, the Robins School of Business successfully launched a newly developed program designed to introduce undergraduate students to a practical, real-world exercise in professional and career skills.

The program, named “Q Camp,” honors Paul B. Queally, R’86 and exemplifies his desire for Robins School students to stand above the rest as they begin competing for jobs in the business world.

The Program

Held off-campus in a business conference center, the small, select group of students in the pilot program experienced first-hand the social and professional interactions they will face as they enter the workforce.

Q Camp is packed full of interactive seminars and opportunities to practice the newly introduced skills with alumni, corporate friends and faculty.

The Robins School is now accepting registrations for Q Camp 2008 scheduled for Friday, September 12 – Sunday, September 14, 2008.

Open to rising business school juniors, Q Camp 2008 has been scheduled to give students the maximum amount of time to use their newly acquired skills as they apply for key internships, prestigious Robins School organizations, including the Student Managed Investment Fund, and other business opportunities.

Agenda

The 2008 agenda is still being finalized in order to incorporate the suggestions for improvement from the pilot group. However, key components of the weekend include opportunities to meet with corporate partners, alumni and faculty at a reception, formal dinner, interviewing session and golfing event. Also included are sessions on office and e-etiquette, effective business writing, and presentation skills.
