The Chairs Speak: Company Field Trip

Pranitha Patil, 2011-2012 Company Field Trip Chair

The Undergraduate Business Council is the most unique and inspiring organization I’ve ever joined. From irreplaceable mentors to the closest group of friends and unforgettable events, UBC defined my freshman year and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Over the course of a year, I visited companies focused in different business fields, interacted with faculty at McCombs, and discovered my interests. My passion from this organization stems from my involvement with Company Field Trips.

Company Field Trip, or CFT, is an incomparable opportunity for students to tour companies in different cities all over the country and learn about various business fields. Each field trip is tailored to expose attendees to the vast opportunities in the corporate world. The upcoming year holds an exciting selection of visits with companies in Dallas, New York, and California. Students get the chance to tour offices, talk to employees about their experiences, meet recruiters and alum, and explore the city.

These trips would be impossible without our incredible alumni network as members of Business Council go on to follow their true passions. With a constantly expanding network, it is not rare to find a BC alumni welcoming you with open arms regardless of where you are in the world. Business Council is a home away from home. I can’t wait to experience the next three years with 100 of the best individuals on campus.
