JOIN A GREAT ALUMNI FAMILY:
Our extensive network of alumni reside and work in 49 U.S. States, the District of Columbia, 4 U.S. territories and 50 foreign countries. Their careers span a vast spectrum of industries, in business, in private practice, in government, in non-profits, in entrepreneurial start-ups and for the public interest.
“My career path has been a cumulative process. In many ways, the work I did at the The Malawi Center for Advice, Research, and Education on Rights set me up to do the work at the International Rescue Committee and at Save the Children. And I continue to rely on what I learned in law school—from my professors and mentors, as a Sparer Fellow, and as part of the Federal Litigation Clinic. Those experiences continue to inspire me.”
