TORERO TREK

SIX USD GRADUATES HAVE BEEN HIRED BY ADOBE since March 2015, thanks to a wave of “Torero Treks” which have given students an up-close-and-personal look at the career paths and cultures of various employers. In Fall 2015, a group visited Silicon Valley companies — which included LinkedIn (pictured above), Adobe and EMC — that emphasize innovation and technology. “Fully 100 percent of the students who participated agreed that they have a better understanding of what prospective employers look for when hiring college graduates,” says Robin Darmon, director of the Career Development Center. “And these treks are opening up new doors professionally for students.” T O R E R O T R E K T O R E R O T R E K T O R E R O T R E K T O R E R O T R E K T O R E R O T R E K T O R E R O T R E K T O R E R O
