Alumni Quotes
“Given the increasing importance of natural resources and environmental law as a global, legal and social issue, the University of Denver’s pioneering spirit provides foreign students with the opportunity to study mining, energy and environmental law and policy in a outstanding academic environment. This program allowed me to improve not only my academic and professionals skills, which I will take to my home country, but also to discover an amazing group of international students in Denver”.
Maria Ines Vergara, LLM, Argentina
“The LLM in Environmental and Natural Resources has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. The LLM curriculum gives you the tools to balance theory and practice, by providing excellent internship programs and offering great practical-oriented courses. In addition, you get to know and make good friends from several different countries, allowing you to know more about their customs and cultures. Finally, Colorado’s great outdoors will just amaze you. This LLM Program has really fulfilled my goals and expectations at all levels.”
Manuel Fumagalli, LLM, Peru
“Environmental work is inherently multidisciplinary. The MRLS allowed me to focus on the areas of law that are particularly relevant to what I want to do. With a better understanding of the law I will be able to work more effectively with my colleagues who are lawyers. Regardless of where my career takes me the MRLS will be a valuable asset.”
Erin Flanagan, MRLS, United States
