The Walk In My
Shoes (WIMS) program offers students a unique
opportunity to shadow, that is, to literally
"walk in the shoes" of a professional in
a career field of interest to them. Professionals
from diverse fields in the Los Angeles area
participate in this program to provide Occidental
students with the opportunity to learn what they
do, how they do it and why they enjoy doing it.
Most of the professionals are alumnus/a from
Occidental College.
Participants in
WIMS are challenged to use their observation
skills in order to have this experience aid them
in decision-making regarding areas of career
interest. Students will also gain insight
into a profession or field they might consider
pursuing after graduation.
