Immersion Excursions

About Immersion Excursions

Immersion Excursions are one-day field trips on-site to companies and organizations. Each semester The Career Center regularly hosts Immersion Excursions focused on a diverse range of industries. Join The Career Center and a small group of students experiencing a “day in the life.” Students have the chance to ask questions to professionals in the field, go “behind the scenes” of a fashion boutique, work through a case study, role play real world problems, develop a PR pitch, create a business plan, network with Michigan alums, and find out about potential job and internship opportunities.

Applications for Immersions can be found throughout the semester via The Career Center Connector. Still have questions about Immersions? Email Geni at: gmichaud@umich.edu
