Lake Tahoe Sports Summit
The Lake Tahoe Sports Summit is designed as an integrative, in-person, culminating experience. Students meet in person for a 2.5-day seminar to attend lectures, meet in small groups, and participate in a case competition. The Summit ends with a graduation ceremony commemorating our student’s hard work, properly sending them off into their career ventures.
Lodging, meals and instruction for the Lake Tahoe Sports Summit are included in tuition. Travel costs to and from the seminar are not included.
