Abstract: Abstract Student field trips have a venerable history in business education that dates to early days of business schools. This essay shares the experience of a senior faculty member who has been a long-time advisor to his department’s undergraduate Economics Club. The “how-tos” of setting up, funding and executing meaningful field trips are presented. Networking with the school’s alumni base—especially those alumni who were former students of the faculty member—can be a key to success. Four examples of field trips ranging from afternoon trips to week long spring break excursions are described.
