Julie Courtney selected for USD's unique Torero Trek program

2017 May 10

Julie Courtney, majoring in Finance & Marketing Double Major and class of 2018, networked with alumni and employers in San Diego on April 28, 2017, through USD's Career Development Center. Julie Courtney interacted with alumni and employers currently with top Los Angeles sports and entertainment companies such as the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Football Club, and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

This valuable networking opportunity could not have been made possible without the contributions of Charles Bass, Senior Director of Alumni Relations and Robin Darmon, director of the Career Development Center.

Charles Bass stated, "Torero Treks embody the ideal of 'Toreros for Life.' This program helps our current students realize that their relationship with USD will last well beyond graduation and is an excellent opportunity for alumni engagement. Our alumni enjoyed sharing about their USD experiences while serving as valuable resources for current students looking to start their careers."

According to Robin Darmon, "The Torero Trek was a complete success! Torero Treks create wonderful opportunities for our undergraduate students to meet with employers, explore organizations 'behind-the-scenes', and ask thoughtful questions about possible career options. Through the Torero Trek program, students like Julie are able to visit excellent companies, both near and far, and meet with alumni to expand their vision of what careers can look like post-USD. "

Participating students said, "Torero Treks are one of the best ways to experience potential career paths and create new in-roads into a wonderful array of companies!"
