Details
The City Treks career exploration program provides undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to connect with employers and alumni working in high-demand industries. On Tuesday, January 23, 2024, eight groups of 10-15 students will travel to New York City to visit two organizations from the same industry. The structure of the day enables students to compare and contrast different work environments, missions, and industry roles, as well as make real connections with alumni and industry experts. All Treks will take place in New York City. Transportation will be provided for students leaving from campus.
The Performing Arts and Management Trek will visit the Metropolitan Opera and Cellunova Productions Inc. The Metropolitan Opera is the leading opera company in the Western hemisphere, putting on an alternating set of productions throughout the season and featuring a diverse set of operas. Each season, the Met stages more than 200 opera performances in New York. More than 800,000 people attend the performances in the opera house during the season, and millions more experience the Met through new media distribution initiatives and state-of-the-art technology. On this visit students will interact with areas across the organization such as Development, Artistic, Finance, and Human Resources.
Cellunova Productions Inc. is a newly founded non-profit theater company based in New York. Its dedicated interdisciplinary board members are running this start-up part-time. They are eager to humbly share their experiences and insights on various topics including legal, compliance, economics, community engagement, and technology.
As a Wintersession offering, registration for City Treks is first-come, first-served beginning on December 11. All interested students must fill out a registration form and will receive an update on their status (registered, waitlisted, declined) on a rolling basis through December 22nd. Accepted and alternate students will also need to attend a short, virtual orientation session prior to the trip.
**NEW WINTERSESSION TRIPS NO-SHOW PENALTY**
Given the limited number of trips available, the long waitlists for trips, and the significant investment of resources to make trips possible, trip registrants who are no-shows and did not cancel their registration with wintersession@princeton.edu at least 72 hours in advance of their trip will be charged $50 via their student account.
The only cancellations that will be accepted within 72 hours prior to the trip without the penalty fee must include a doctor’s note. Otherwise the $50 no-show fee will be charged.
