Registration
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 Structural Engineering & Construction Administration Trek will visit DeSimone Consulting Engineering, which provides high-quality structural engineering, façade consulting, forensic services, and risk management construction claims consulting for all types of buildings. Known for the high quality of service, the firm provides each client with personal, dedicated, and inspiring engineering solutions. During this site visit, students will have an opportunity to tour the facility, meet with representatives from the Structural Design, Architectural Façade Design, BIM Modeling project management, Operations, and Graphics departments, and have an informal lunch discussion with alumni. They will also visit an active project under construction. This is a great way to see how to use skills in engineering design and how these designs are constructed in the built, real world.
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.
**ALL TRIP ATTENDEES MUST COMPLETE THE Wintersession 2024 Trip Assumption of Risk and Release Form: https://forms.gle/sVJEW8cUAzenypwd6 If you are attending multiple trips, you only need to complete the waiver once.**
