Sophomores and Juniors are invited to apply for a free one-week summer program being offered at Lycoming College and Pennsylvania College of Technology.  Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week (PFEW) provides an opportunity for students to turn an imaginary company into a financial success, determining selling prices, marketing costs, budgets for production, research and development, financing and stock offerings for their company.  Students develop their own marketing strategies and design an advertising campaign for their company’s product.  Students will meet and work with some of Pennsylvania’s top executives and enjoy such free-time activities as a volleyball tournament and a pool party.  Applications are available in the Upper House Counseling Office.
