Industry Explorers

Join us for a quarterly site visit to explore how leadership looks like in different industries. Participants will take a journey of discovery through site visits to different areas to meet leaders in their fields. This program provides the opportunity for students to gain insight into different industries, learn about current trends, and connect with inspiring professionals.

During the program, students will have the opportunity to visit various organizations, interact with their leaders, and learn about their work. They will also have the chance to ask questions, gain advice, and learn from the experiences of these leaders.

Through this program, students will gain a deeper understanding of the skills, education, and passion required to succeed in various fields. They will also learn about the different career paths available to them and the importance of networking and building relationships in their respective industries.

By the end of the program, students will have developed a network of contacts and a newfound appreciation for the different fields they have explored. They will be equipped with knowledge, skills, and inspiration to pursue their passions and achieve their goals. Join us on field ventures and embark on a journey of discovery like no other!

Upcoming Site Visits

November 17, 2026 from 4:30 PM–6:00 PM in McCormick Tribune Lounge, Reynolds Club

Instead of heading off campus for a site visit this fall, we’re bringing industry leaders to campus!

Join us for an engaging panel featuring professionals from a variety of industries as they share the real stories behind their journeys! From unexpected career pivots and big challenges to identity, leadership, and the experiences that shaped who they are today.

Come hear the real tea behind the résumé, get inspired by different paths to success, and reflect on what your own experiences, values, and goals might mean for where you’re headed next.

Your path doesn’t have to be linear. Come discover where curiosity, courage, and experience can lead.
