Trips

Have an Adventure

Expand your worldview and discover new applications for a big idea. Select groups of students are invited to New York or Silicon Valley to meet with visionary entrepreneurs, leading executives and successful NC State alumni.

There are two trips every year: a fall break trip to New York City and a spring break trip to Silicon Valley. Trips are affordable for students, only $400 all-inclusive.

In addition to the break trips, there are multiple local tours run throughout the year sponsored by the Albright Entrepreneurs Village. Contact the Village directly to inquire about reserving your spot.

Students must be degree-seeking NC State students or equivalent and must be 18 years of age in order to be selected to attend a trip.
