Organization Hosts

Visiting innovative organizations, meeting professionals at a variety of levels who work there and engaging with them in meaningful ways is the hallmark of Panthers Immersion Programs.

Our best visits typically run 1.5 to 2 hours and include the following elements:

Career Opportunities
Learning about internships, entry-level roles and career paths

Young Professionals
Panel discussions and networking roundtables

Tours
Many organizations have interesting physical spaces and will provide a tour of the facility.

Food
Firms often host us over breakfast or lunch and offer refreshments.

Unique Experiential Opportunities

In order to maximize the learning opportunity, we collaborate with firms who host our students to make their visit experiential.

Examples include:

Brainstorming/Ideation
One firm asked students to join them in a new product development meeting.

Morning Call
Students have listened in on the morning conference call of an investment bank’s equity research team and engaged in follow-up discussion.

Pre-Read
Several organizations have provided information on an issue to review and analyze prior to meeting and asked students to engage with a subject matter expert.

Student Team Projects
We actively are seeking firms who are interested in having our students engage in a team project as part of this program.
