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!
