Shoutout to the FEX and WISP participants in New York City who are gaining amazing insight into a multitude of careers. The FEX program (Freshman Externship program) is a one-day shadowing program during winter break for ILR freshmen to explore ILR-related career fields, gain firsthand work exposure, and network with alumni. The WISP program (WInter Internship Program) provides an opportunity for sophomores, juniors, seniors, and first-year master's students to develop on-the-job experience through a short-term assignment with a project sponsor over winter break.
