West Quest Group

West Quest is the student group that spearheads an annual recruiting and networking trip to the West Coast. Our organization is dedicated to fostering connections between Booth students and high-profile employers in such industries such as high tech, media and entertainment, and consumer products (though we are always open to suggestions for other industries). Ultimately we aim to maintain an active Booth presence at companies that may find distant campus recruiting a challenge.

Our namesake event, WestQuest, centers on a four-day recruiting trip to San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Through company visits and social events, participants learn about career opportunities and the remarkable wave of entrepreneurial activity in the region. In recent years the trip has expanded to include concurrent legs to Seattle and Los Angeles; additional day trips to Portland and San Diego also are under consideration.

During WestQuest and throughout the year, we are dedicated to nurturing long-term relationships with West Coast firms and Booth alumni employed in that region. For this reason, we partner heavily with the Office of Student Programs & Events and MBA Career Services as well as various student organizations. Student groups that have helped make West Quest a success in the past include: Entrepreneur/Venture Capital Group, High Tech Group, Wine Club, Media & Entertainment Group.
