At 7:30 a.m. on March 25, 30 undergraduate students entered the doors of the Donald P. Corbett Business building with luggage in hand. They weren’t heading to class; they were loading a bus bound for Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trip is part of the Maine Business School’s Bear Treks program, which takes learning outside the classroom and into the offices of major companies to expose students to career opportunities and workplace culture. Students have the chance to connect with industry professionals, many of whom are MBS alumni who once walked the same halls of DPC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You don’t learn the world through the classroom; you learn the world by going out into the world,\u201d\u00a0 says Leif Walker, a second-year finance and financial economics student who attended the trip. \u201cTo have that perspective is incredibly valuable.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
