YURtern: Beyond the Storefront
NOTE: This is an event for interns!
Step beyond the storefronts and experience the energy of Valley Junction during this interactive YURtern session! You’ll hear directly from local business owners as they share their stories, career journeys, and the realities of running a business in one of the metro’s most unique districts. After the panel, you’ll put your teamwork and networking skills to the test in a scavenger hunt through Valley Junction, giving you the chance to connect with fellow interns while exploring the businesses and culture that make this community so special.
