Treks are career development and networking programs that create opportunities for students to connect with alumni and employers in key metropolitan areas across the country. As part of the Treks, students interact with partner organizations during corporate excursions, career fairs, and networking socials.

 
Most CPD events are free for students to attend. Trek events do charge a fee for participation to help offset the costs of transportation and meals during the events. For these events, financial assistance is available to students with demonstrated need.
 
CPD events have a few opportunities for parents and family members to participate as representatives of their company during annual Trek events. You can attend the networking socials in your city, or host an excursion. Additionally, if you want to mentor Gonzaga students, you can sign up at our online networking site, ZagsConnect.
