What started as a small idea to really make my senior year memorable, turned into a business here at USC to help students travel to away football games and Spring Break. After sharing my idea with a Greif/Marshall Alum, I was connected with The College Travel Experts, my new team! Together, we are working to make every trip a memorable experience and establish ourselves as the leader in student trips! We also reach out to brands for partnerships and put together a strategic marketing campaign to get students pumped up about our trips! It has been a great journey being a part of this start-up and I am looking forward to the development and growth of our business! So here's our pitch: Trojan Excursions, part of The College Travel Experts network, is a full-service trip provider for college students. As the leader in college trips, Trojan Excursions transforms the college experience and offers students the most exciting trips of the year at unbeatable prices. We facilitate the planning process and offer exclusive packages to away football games, spring break, and much more. We will kick off the 2011 football season with our first trip to Arizona State, followed by the annual Weekender trip to San Francisco for the Cal game. Then we will travel to Notre Dame for our rivalry game and finish off on the road in Colorado with a ski trip. We will be ringing in 2012 and offering Spring Break 2012 trips as well. Show less
