Boise State has hosted the International Economic Summit since 1971 but up until recently, the program was mostly for students in Idaho. Now, the Summit is going National.
Nearly 350 students from 11 Mississippi high schools took part in Boise State's Summit at Mississippi College in Clinton, Mississippi. The purpose of the Summit program is to give high school and university students a practical, hand-on experience in globalization, international relations and economics.
Carolyn Jensen is now a Boise State student who once participated in the summit program. “Before the International Economic Summit, I had no interest in international economics or global relations. That has now changed
dramatically.”
Funding for the Boise State's program in Mississippi was provided in part by the Council for Economic Education through an EEE (Excellence in Economic Education) Grant.
