3L Public Interest Scholars Samahria Alpern (pictured), Nick Delehanty, Cindy Nguyen, and Lande Watson recently held a ‘Pearls of Wisdom’ event that provided advice on summer jobs, course selection, journals, and more to the program’s 1L cohort. A three-year scholarship covering full tuition and fees, the Public Interest Scholars Program is awarded annually to about 10 incoming students who are dedicated to public interest work. They attend networking and social events, build connections with past cohorts, and obtain funding to attend conferences, plan programs, or join bar associations.
