UNDERGraduate liaison program
OVERVIEW
The Undergraduate Liaison Program is designed to introduce freshmen to Stern’s club system, teach essential pre–professional skills, and prepare students for future club leadership. This program connects Undergraduate Liaisons (ULs) directly with ICC E–Board members and club leaders, providing structured mentorship and early exposure to the range of organizations at Stern.
program BENEFITS
ULs attend weekly ICC E–Board meetings and develop a strong understanding of how clubs operate, how student organizations are built and funded, and how leadership decisions are made across campus.
ULs participate in weekly workshops led by ICC’s Mentorship Directors. Through these workshops, ULs gain exposure to various industries (e.g., investment banking, consulting) and learn pre–professional skills through group projects, stock pitches, and case competitions.
ULs gain behind-the-scenes access to ICC operations while building meaningful relationships with students across multiple clubs, including all 36 club presidents.
ULs serve as a pipeline to future club leadership and ICC E–Board roles. All current ICC E–Board members were ULs during their freshman year and are involved in many other clubs, including SOF, 180DC, and SVS.
ULs join a tight-knit community and receive ongoing mentorship from ICC leadership. In addition to bonding events and socials, ICC hosts a retreat in both the fall and spring semesters.
PROGRAM DIRECTORS
ICC’s UL Program Directors, Nisha Kurup and Josh Zhou, will lead the program in Fall 2026.
Nisha is a senior at NYU Stern and joined ICC during her freshman spring through the UL program. She previously served as one of ICC’s UL Program Directors during her junior spring. Nisha is also involved on campus in SVS and led SVS V-Team in Fall 2025.
