Program Highlights
This summer marked the exciting launch of the D’Artagnan Summer Academy, and thanks to the incredible efforts of nearly 60 team members and business partners, the inaugural session was a resounding success. Designed for high school students interested in exploring the world of business, the program combined academic rigor with real-world experiences, offering courses like Economics, and Marketing, taught by Xavier faculty.
With company visits to top firms like P&G, Alloy, 84.51°, and FC Cincinnati, alongside dynamic social events and a campus experience that left students inspired, the program earned high praise across the board — 96% of students left more interested in business, and interest in attending Xavier more than doubled. The enthusiasm, learning, and community that defined this first year set a strong foundation for the future of the program.
