During Half Block 2019, the Office of Alumni and Family Relations partnered with the Career Center to conduct a student Tiger Trek to London. Tiger Treks are field trips to major cities that highlight prestigious alumni and potential career paths. This was the sixth Tiger Trek, and the first international trip. Twelve students spent a week traveling around the city meeting with alumni and parents working in professions engaged in international relations. In addition to the site visits, the college hosted an alumni reception so that all area alumni could welcome the students and share their stories.

Jacqueline Nkhonjera ’20, Eden Lumerman ’19, and Lam Vo ’19 stop for a quick phone call before visiting the U.S. Embassy.

Trustee Marc St John ’80 hosts students for an end-of-trip dinner at his home outside London.

Students visit Mark Stutz ‘92 to learn how an English major can be happy and successful at a tech company.

Petra Cahill ’97 talks with students during the alumni reception in Notting Hill.
