This is a general application for 2025 Admitted MBA Student Treks that will take place in June and July in person. The treks are designed as a learning & networking opportunity for admitted LGBTQ+* MBAs interested in specific industries. The experience allows attendees to better understand career paths in their industry of interest, meet other individuals admitted to MBA programs around the country, and to network with MBA alumni and professionals.
The ROMBA Treks are for newly admitted MBA students beginning their MBA program in 2025, as well as part-time students who began their program in 2023 or 2024. The content is designed for students exploring potential MBA career paths and opportunities at ROMBA partner companies. Applications from continuing or second-year MBA students will not be considered.
