Philip Pincus Wins Lehigh University Summer Scholarship
May 17, 2010
Philip Pincus has received a prestigious scholarship at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA.
The Pennsylvania School for Global Entrepreneurship (PSGE) is a unique, five-week, residential summer program for high school students (ages 16-18). The students who are accepted to PSGE are highly motivated, thoughtful, hard-working, and entrepreneurial in character.
Philip volunteers at a local women's shelter and orphanage and has taught English at a summer camp in HCMC. He enjoys volleyball and swimming and participates in the Model United Nations club.
PSGE students will attend sessions on topics pertaining to entrepreneurship, global networking, team building, project management, leadership and working in a culturally diverse environment that are taught by Lehigh faculty members as well as entrepreneurs and leaders of the business community. All students will attend core courses, as well as have the option to select elective courses each week.
Working in teams according to skill and interest areas, students are assigned to a real-world company where they will spend Monday afternoons working on a project and problem-solving for that organization. Students prepare a formal marketing or business plan and presentation for the company executives.
A unique opportunity for program participants is the chance to attend a variety of Global Village Country Presentations and Globalization Session. These interactive seminars, presented by interns from Iacocca Institute’s Global Village, focus on a particular region of the world and are led by interns from individual countries within the region.
Philip will have opportunities that few high school students will have a chance to experience. We look forward to learning more from him in the new school year. Congratulations, Philip, and we hope you enjoy your studies in Pennsylvania!
