One of the cool “extra” parts of going back to college (especially at Sloan) is the opportunity to travel. Throughout the year different groups organize treks to various parts of the world. Most of these trips line up with long weekends or vacations. They generally have a purpose like making connections for a job after school, learning about an industry, exposure to a new culture, or just to visit somewhere you’ve never been.
Some of the treks are organized by LGO, like the domestic plant trek in January and the international plant trek in March, while others are organized by Sloan students but are open to LGOs. Sloan treks scheduled for this year include trips to LA to meet with media companies, New York City and London for finance and banking, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and others, literally anywhere you could think to go.
I’m leaving tonight to go to Iceland on my first Sloan trek. A group of about 40 of us are taking advantage of the long Columbus weekend and spending 4 days snowmobiling, visiting the Icelandic National Bank, and checking out other cool stuff. I’ll have pictures and stories to share when I get back.
