International Treks (ITreks)
Through treks, MBA students travel domestically and internationally to network with alumni, learn about specific industries, support local organizations, and engage with different cultures. The overall goal of international treks (ITreks) is to enhance the student experience, while also complementing the Global Business Experience.
ITreks are student-run and some of the trips have received partial financial support from McDonough’s MBA Alumni Advisory Council (MAAC), and other donors. McDonough student organizations periodically submit their ITrek applications and, once approved, the MBA student community can register to them following the student organizations’ instructions.
The MBA Program Office and McDonough’s Office of Global Operations provide operational guidelines through the ITreks Committee. Recent ITrek locations include: Colombia, Israel, Mexico and Tanzania.
Most ITreks are run by the collection of over 40 approved student organizations.
