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 Technology and Data Analytics Trek will visit Celonis and (tentatively) Bloomberg Engineering. Celonis is an industry leader in the field of process mining. This visit will allow attendees to tour the Celonis office and speak to Celonis employees about the process mining software, the business use cases for process mining, and hear from some of our customers and partners regarding their business case for the software.
Bloomberg is the global business and financial information and news leader, gives influential decision makers a critical edge by connecting them to a dynamic network of information, people and ideas. The company's strength delivering data, news and analytics through innovative technology, quickly and accurately is at the core of the Bloomberg Professional service, which provides real time financial information to more than 315,000 subscribers globally. Bloomberg's enterprise solutions build on the company's core strength, leveraging technology to allow customers to access, integrate, distribute and manage data and information across organizations more efficiently and effectively. Bloomberg engineers develop impactful solutions to complex, real-world problems. The software they write is utilized every day by leading business and finance experts worldwide. They roll out new software daily, which encourages our teams to work together on how to best design, build and deploy these systems. On this visit, students will connect with software engineers and get the opportunity to interact with the Bloomberg Terminal.

Accepted and alternate students will also need to attend a short, virtual orientation session prior to the trip.
