FIRST EXPOSURES
Congrats FX Class of 2026
We are honored to recognize our 8 graduating mentees, as this year was their final year in the program before they head off to college!
From first-year rookies to four-year veterans, our graduating mentees expressed how transformational their time in our program was for them, the lifelong bonds and memories they'll have, and what they're excited to do next.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
