About the Cochrane Summer Economic Institute

A structured summer opportunity for rising high school seniors to reimage Richmond while problem solving for a company and experiencing the realities of the workplace. During CSEI, students increase their awareness of complex systems, discover methods for decision making, acquire design thinking tools and apply their knowledge of economics and entrepreneurial skills and mindsets.

CSEI begins Tuesday, July 5 and runs for four weeks from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 pm. Students from any school in the greater Richmond metro area are invited to apply and provide a recommendation during the fall of their junior year. Students interested in business, economics, entrepreneurship and community who embrace uncertainty and enjoy meeting new people gravitate toward the program.

CSEI is a program of the Powell Institute for Responsible Citizenship at Collegiate School.

Let’s Design Something Great Together.
