Student TREKs - Get Involved

US & International Treks

One of the goals of the Wharton Private Equity & Venture Capital Association, is to strengthen the link between its members and alumni working in the PE/VC industryand the school in a way that is relevant and compelling.

Treks are an important and valuable opportunity whereby students connect with industry professionals in cities around the globe with the goal of building relationships, gaining insight into market trends, and securing attractive career opportunities thereby continuing to strengthen the Wharton brand.

If you are interested in being involved with a Trek in your city by either hosting the students or getting together in an informal way, please contact the student liaisons noted below to learn more about how you and your firm can be engaged.
