2021 West Coast Trek

This year's West Coast Trek took STA's first virtual trek experience! The goal was as it always has been; for students to get a feel for the technology ecosystem on the West Coast, learn about companies, potential internship or job opportunities, and make connections with alumni and professionals in the region.

The event spanned two Fridays, one for the San Francisco Leg and the other for the Seattle Leg. Our team met with 8 companies total including Apple, Intuit, LinkedIn, and Tableau to name a few. Our attendees included a mix of first, second, part-time and executive MBA students. The event is purposely limited to 25 lucky attendees to provide students the opportunity to build strong relationships and allow for more candid conversations from our company participants. Overall, we had a great time learning a bit more from these companies!
