Early on Thursday morning, we started our drive up from Santa Barbara. After a breakfast stop at Chick-fil-A, we visited Egnyte, a cloud storage and file sharing company whose software we use at Westmont. That afternoon, we headed into San Francisco proper, where we got to tour Cisco Meraki. We spent the night at the Clunie House, the Victorian mansion that provides housing for students on the Westmont in San Francisco program. On Friday, we spent the morning at the Salesforce Tower, where we got to go all the way up to the Ohana Floor. From there, we walked a few blocks to the Samsung NEXT office and spent a couple hours talking to a few of its employees. During our brief stay in the city, we got to eat great snacks, visit incredible buildings, and meet eminent professionals. Check out our video, and then read our highlights from the trip!</excerpt><author>Laura Phillips</author><image>
