Road Shows
Road Shows are aimed at furthering Foster MBA
placement with top employers in major metropolitan areas
outside Seattle. Through these visits, Foster MBA students and Foster
staff seek to learn more about employers' recruiting plans
and create a closer relationship with the School of Business.
Typically, a group of between five and 20 current MBA students
visit two to four companies each day to explore job opportunities
for MBA graduates. The company visit agenda is usually comprised
of a presentation given by company representatives (often
including alumni) and an opportunity for extensive Q & A.
Previous focus areas have included tech companies in Silicon
Valley, investment banks in New York City, and retail headquarters
in San Francisco. Road Shows often culminate in a networking
reception planned in conjunction with UW Alumni Relations
or independently by MBA Career Services.
Student-led Treks
Along with Road Shows, Student-led Treks
provide another avenue aimed at notably increasing Foster MBA
placement with top employers in other major metropolitan
areas not served by Road Shows.
The objective of a Student-led Trek will be
to conduct several informational interviews and to network
with key business people in that locale. This format is individualized
to the needs of the student(s) who are participating.
