Stude nts: Our Co re Missio n (I )

  • TC adds value to student experience through industry

exposure, seminars by authorities in the field, travel funds for conferences, fellowship stipends– essential differentiator for recruiting top talent

  • Many opportunities for undergraduates interested in

transportation; increasing engagement in research, internship placement with BAC companies

  • Industry support is critical to our mission and to

making a Northwestern Education in Transportation the unique experience it is.
