Sturm College of Law 2024 Public Interest Fellowships and Honors Positions
The University of Denver is excited to share its most recent list of graduates who earned public interest fellowships and honors positions, which will allow them to launch their careers in nonprofits and government agencies.
Alexi Freeman, Associate Dean and Director of Externships and Social Justice Initiatives, shared: “Despite a significant need for public sector lawyers, few fellowship positions exist. These positions are highly coveted and highly selective. We are proud of our students’ hard work and their commitment to serving the public good.”
Two students were awarded Immigrant Justice Corps Fellowships to join nonprofit organizations serving immigrant communities nationwide:
- Marlene Pierce will work as the Katzmann Fellow with Catholic Charities of Central Colorado.
