A pre-college program providing various "personalized adventures for
students," Summerfuel offers a particularly exciting opportunity: Social Entrepreneurship (passages taken from the organization's About Us).
Hosted on the campuses of Stanford University (@Stanford) and Yale University (@Yale), this
program introduces "high school students to the cross-disciplinary
skills necessary to build effective and efficient business-based
solutions to social problems" (passages taken from the Read More).
More specifically, participants "work to develop and implement
comprehensive social ventures, from research to operational logistics,
marketing, financing and sustainability. [They] will have opportunities
to implement and measure the impact of key pieces of their plans,
practicing key presentation and leadership skills along the way."
- The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania (@Wharton). A dynamic business institution since 1881, Wharton offers an intriguing pre-college program named the Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) Program.
Hosted on the University of Pennsylvania campus, LEAD offers thirty
students across the nation the opportunity to "attend lectures by
distinguished Wharton School faculty and visiting corporate executives,"
to "engage in challenging team-based assignments" and to "visit
corporations and institutions in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and New
York City" (passages taken from The LEAD Program at Wharton). Enrolled students are also able to network with corporate executives and enjoy various social and cultural activities.
- Marist College (@Marist).
A private four-year institution boasting a reputation as one of the
nation's "Best 237 Business Schools" (per the Princeton Review), Marist
offers a competitive option for Misha: the Summer Business Institute.
Hosted for two weeks on Marist's Poughkeepsie, NY campus, this program
"introduces students to the world of business and the practice
of management" (passages taken from Summer Business Institute).
Students study areas such as the "dynamic world of business, the
nature of managerial work, the history of managerial thought," and they
receive three college-transferable credits in business.
Misha
is diligently preparing his letter to Marist's program, but...which one
will he ultimately choose? If you have any advice for him, or if you
would recommend any other program not listed above, please post in the

After
months of patient waiting and research, Ned finally located and
purchased a suitable truck. He has recently begun to apply his
knowledge of automotive studies by repurposing the vehicle. Here are the
specs on the truck, affirmed by Ned himself:
Toward
what end is Ned repurposing this truck? He reports that he will restore
it halfway and then customize it with a - 2.5 in. drop on the front and
a - 4.0 in. drop on the back. He also plans to increase the horsepower
from 305 to 440. He wishes to replace the rims with a straight black
or gun metal set, and he will apply a new color (once he weeds through
the myriad of choices that await him). Overall, he states, he wants to
transform the vehicle into a genuine muscle truck.
