Welcome Students!

Each fall and spring break, the J-school takes up to 18 students to a major U.S. city for a unique networking experience. Students meet individually with alumni working in their chosen fields over a 2-day period, and are exposed to the school’s vast network at an alumni and friends reception. The trip gives students an opportunity to learn from alumni and make connections in the field that can help them secure internships and jobs in the future.
