Hi, my name is Bentley Wong. I am a junior at the ILR school from Queens, New York City. One of the highlights of my time at ILR thus far has been the opportunity to study abroad in Dublin, Ireland. Through the unique partnership between the University College of Dublin and the ILR School, I was able to enrich my understanding of labor relations issues, particularly within the European Union context, while fostering new friendships both abroad and within the ILR School.  

When I tell people that I’m majoring in Classics in the College of Arts & Sciences, the most common follow-up question is what my favorite classic book is – i.e., English literature. While this is a lovely question, the idea that I’m studying English is a common misconception.
