Andrew Rieder of the Alumni Association shot the video from last week’s New York Trek from the New York Stock Exchange. Among the various stops along the tour, the eight selected Gonzaga students were able to see first hand the workings of the NYSE.
Interested in attending the NYC Trek next year? Space is limited and application are made available in the Spring. If you don’t want to wait until then for an eye-opening Trek experience, consider joining us for the Portland (Jan, 5th) and Seattle (Jan. 7-8) Treks this winter. Be on the look out for registration announcements!

Several Gonzaga students are in New York this week for the Annual GAMP New York Trek. Today the students had an opportunity to visit several high profile financial institutions in New York including the New York Stock Exchange, Deutsche Bank and the J.P. Morgan Chase headquarters. Students have the chance to sit down with several high ranking officers from these organizations and ask key questions about careers in the financial industry. Here’s a great photo of our students in front of the famous Wall Street Bull in the financial district.
We’ll send you more updates as the week unfolds.

In answer to that question: plenty.
An internship allows you to get your foot in the door in an non-threatening manner for potential employers. Also, you can meet people within the industry of interest to you. And instead of an interview where a potential employer learns about you in your answers or on a piece of paper, an internship allows employers to learn about your capabilities through your accomplishments first hand. Even if this internship doesn’t turn into a full-time position, maybe through your newly developed network you’ll hear of something first.
The Wall Street Journal agrees with me. In a recent article from May 5 entitled, “Giving Internships a Post-College Try”. Highlights college graduates who have recently taken internships (both paid and yes, unpaid) in order to get the foot in the door at a highly desired company or industry.
Approach the job hunt as if it is an internship hunt. You may find yourself with many more doors opening for you. Especially when you mention the idea of being an unpaid intern. Just food for thought.
