NCA: December 2024 Investment Banking Career Trek to NYC
Northwestern Career Advancement is hosting an Investment Banking Career Trek to New York City on Wednesday, December 18 and Thursday, December 19. This Trek is for students who:
- Identify as sophomores
- Plan to actively apply to investment banking internships for their summer 2026 experience as early as winter break 2024/winter quarter 2025
Students should expect to plan arrival to NYC on Tuesday, December 17 and NCA staff will guide students through a 2-day experience visiting 5+ investment banks on December 18 and 19.
