FMA Trips               

As a way to encourage interaction between students and the professional world, the FMA facilitates corporate field trips every year.

Upcoming Spring 2006 field trip to Seattle, Washington

Right now we are planning a trip to Seattle, Washington for March 31, 2006. We are tentatively planning on visiting Microsoft and Starbucks while we are there.

While in Seattle, we hope to meet with these two companies on Friday, as well as having an Alumni Lunch with UI College of Business alumni that are currently in the Seattle area. We are currently raising funds to reduce the amount each person would have to pay. Our goal is to raise enough money that the trip will be completely paid for students who are members of FMA at the University of Idaho. For more information on fundraising, visit our Fundraising link. This field trip is open to all majors and all levels in school. Contact Joe Eiguren for more information.
