Summer Academy 2008.


After our amazing success in 2007, we knew that we needed to get Summer Academy to the masses. We began plotting for a nationwide rollout in 2008. This started by bringing on several new team members, updating our existing classes and creating several new classes. All of our hard work paid off when we ran 12 Summer Academies in 10 U.S. Cities throughout 2008! These lucky cities, in no particular order, were: Los Angeles, CA, Inv. Grove Heights, MN, Newark, NJ, Atlanta, GA, Boston, MA, New York, NY, San Antonio, TX, Chicago, IL, Mound, MN, Orlando, FL.

In 2008, we graduated over 800 Junior Agents and were fortunate to have the participation of over 300 Best Buy employees from 134 Best Buy locations. We also piloted several co-ed Summer

Academies. Our amazing partners made the entire program possible and during 2008 we clinched new partnerships
with Girl Scouts of the USA, Girls Inc., MOUSE, Magic Johnson Enterprises and Digital Concourse. As an added bonus Geek Squad Summer Academy was invited, along with our partner MOUSE, to ring the closing bell at the NASDAQ!
