Beyond the Books

“I started the venture capital group with our Law and Business Association to provide networking opportunities for students so they can understand what it means to be a venture capitalist.”

Faculty Mentor

“Professor Deborah Burand asked for input during the strategic planning process for the Grunin Center for Law and Social Entrepreneurship. She's also been a resource on employment and research projects. She's given me an insight into the way students and faculty can collaborate in promoting educational programs that are new not only to NYU Law, but to law schools in general.”

Student Leader: Africa Law Association

“I wanted to provide opportunities for students such as myself who are interested in working in a professional capacity either in Africa or on issues related to Africa.”

THE WASHINGTON SQUARE WAY

“I really liked NYU Law’s focus on international law as well as its law and business program. I could pursue my interdisciplinary interests while also having a strong doctrinal foundation.”
