Since 2010, the Retail Management Institute has proudly facilitated student trips to New York City, the epicenter of the retail industry. In early January, a group of 20 students embarked on a transformative journey to the city, where they engaged with the retail sector in a way few educational experiences can offer. The highlight of the trip was the NRF (National Retail Federation) Student Program, a prestigious event that convenes future retail leaders, industry professionals, and educators. Over three days, students attended insightful sessions, networked with professionals, and gained a comprehensive understanding of the retail landscape. In addition, the trip included visits to leading retailers, offering students a well-rounded view of the industry from both strategic and operational perspectives.
In addition, the trip included:
- Store tours & talks.
- Alumni event night
- And many more engaging activities.
These experiences provided students with a well-rounded view of the industry from both strategic and operational perspectives.
Applications for the New York City 2027 will open in October 2026.
