- A trek is a field trip that CCD staff and ND faculty coordinate where students will have an opportunity to tour companies and meet with alumni to learn about careers in the industry. Check out this slideshow to see a summary of the 2024 LA trek.
- Both the LA/entertainment and NYC/sports treks will begin Tuesday night, October 21, and end midday on Thursday, October 23. The expectation is that students will arrive on Tuesday before 5pm and can fly out on Thursday afternoon/evening or opt to stay the extra night and depart on Friday.
- This will be a highly competitive opportunity with a limited number of students selected to participate for each trek. The treks are open to all students, with a preference for those planning to pursue a career in the entertainment or sports industry, and seniors also have priority.
- Students are responsible for their own expenses, including transportation to/from LA or NYC, lodging, and most meals. We can arrange for roommates to help reduce hotel expenses, and we will also help guide accepted students to ND funding sources to underwrite their costs.
For both treks, we held brief informational meetings via Zoom on Thursday night. Listen to an audio recording of the LA trek session here and an audio recording of the NYC session here.
