What are TREKs?
TREKs are student-led trips that provide an opportunity for current Thunderbirds to increase their understanding in specific industry or functional areas while networking with executives in top companies. Hotel and airfare costs for TREK excursions are paid for by the CMC. For more information, visit the CMC's TREK homepage.

The applications received by the CMC for the next generation of Peer Career Advisors (PCAs) were the best yet. Thank you to all who applied!
