“On these kinds of trips, you get to learn more about people’s lives, how companies work, and what careers can look like,” Solmos said. “I learned my Philosophy degree is very helpful in critical thinking and communicating complex concepts into more manageable, understandable ones.”
Now free for Oxford students, this academic year’s Presidential Career and Leadership Series will offer career treks to Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus. By visiting organizations from targeted fields and hearing from professionals in both formal and informal settings, participants will gain exposure to job and internship opportunities, discover how their major applies to different career paths, and learn about workplace culture and employer responsibilities.
Additionally, attendees will experience what it’s like to live in these major Ohio cities by visiting some of their marquee attractions, such as sporting events and museums.

They also attended a Blue Jackets and a Cavaliers game.
