New York TigerTrek

Spring 2024
New York TigerTrek is Princeton’s annual trip that brings 20 Princeton students to New York City for a week of intimate, off-the-record conversations with creatives, entrepreneurs, and game changers in industries ranging from art curation to technology. Year after year, this trip transforms the ideas and career goals of students who go on the trip and of students back on campus. This year's trip will be held during **Spring Break, March 10–15.**
This year’s theme? Passions in Professions. We want to meet the people who have consistently carved out their own niches, took big risks with intention, and made what they love a part of their lives. Although this trip has historically focused on tech and entrepreneurship, we’re expanding our focus to a more diverse range of fields, backgrounds, and identities. We can guarantee the speakers we’ll meet have done bold things with their passions — and if you have your own strong passions, you’ll fit right in with us.
