Gonzaga students continued their time in New York last week from Sept. 24-27th, with the GAMP Trek focused on financial careers. Here's a pic at Rockefeller Center. Watch out Wall Street!
The Gonzaga NY Trek to Wall St. briefly visited Federal Hall where George Washington took his oath for president!
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.
These opportunities caught my eye in a Linkedin Group (Job Spot Seattle) and thought it would be a good idea to share them with our blogging audience. REI Headquarters - Kent, WA (Multiple Opportunities)
