Popular options from Ithaca are OurBus, Coach USA/Short Line, Cornell Campus-to-Campus or carpooling with classmates. If you're driving and have open seats, post them in the trek group chat.

**🗓 Day-of schedule**

- **5:30–7:30 PM:** HTC × BRTC post-trek mixer at Sir Henry's (795 8th Ave, 3rd Floor). Handheld food and one drink ticket (beer/wine) per attendee.

**✅ Before you go**
- Bring your Cornell ID and a government-issued photo ID, since most offices check ID at the front desk.
- Arrive at each office 10–15 minutes early to allow for building security.
- Getting between offices is on your own. Plan for the subway. We advise you stick with your group
- Research your companies ahead of time. Hosts love specific questions.
