Lion's Apprentice Program
Read about The Lion's Apprentice in The Signal: Teams Go From the Classroom to the Boardroom," The Signal, September 27, 2007.
"The Lion's Apprentice is real hands-on. We can use what we've learned and apply it to the real world," Rama said. The ECCG made it clear they weren't there to mess around and they plan to do what it takes to win. Guhr added, its strategy is simple enough - "provide the solution, give the customer what it wants."
The Lion’s Apprentice, Fall 2006
Congratulations to: (left to right) Michael Pudlowski, sophomore international business major, Mira Shah, sophomore finance major, and Richard Brown, senior interdisciplinary business major, for winning the Fall 2006 challenge, and claiming the title 'The Lion's Apprentice.' See TCNJ Update, December 2006, for details.
The experience gave us the opportunity to implement everything we've learned in the classroom while working with serious companies such as Johnson & Johnson. It really brought out the competitve edge in all of us; every task we were given set a goal in our minds - to go above and beyond the expectations of our clients, and to surprise our competitors. ~ Michael Pudlowski
Jumping from designing a food cart to exploring the world of HIV medications gave us an overview of the variations in the business world. Deadlines, teamwork, conflicts, networking, criticism were all faced during the process of the program. ~ Mira Shah
This program encourages team members to work collaboratively to complete each challenge. Through this program I have made good friendships, gotten a real sense of the types of projects that people working in business encounter everyday and I have developed a set of personal objectives for the future. ~ Richard Brown

The Lion's Apprentice provides the students with a unique learning opportunity. No two weeks are the same. Each week's activity poses a different kind of "real-world" problem that requires a different set of behaviors and skills. ~ Lion's Apprentice Judge David Stryker, Assistant Treasurer Risk Management, Bristol Meyers Squibb
