Sign up for the fifth CHILLS session, Friday, February 21 from 4-6pm in Furman Hall, Room 430, for public interest career and academic advice, a morale boost, camaraderie, and fun.
Lauren Burke, an energetic and inspiring NYU Law ’09 alumna, Founder of Atlas: DIY, Developing Immigrant Youth, and PILC Practitioner-in-Residence, will be hosting CHILLS every Friday. Each week CHILLS will offer wine and cheese and a chance to chat with Lauren and a rotating group of NYU Law graduates who are now public interest practitioners.
To join the CHILLS event on Friday, please RSVPthrough CSM/Symplicity (search “Colleen Duffy” for this week on the Events tab).
This week, Lauren is joined by Colleen Duffy, who works at the Administration for Children’s Services as Immigrant Services and Language Access Coordinator. Prior to joining ACS, as a staff attorney at the New York Asian Women’s Center, Colleen represented non-citizen survivors of violence in pursuing immigration relief. Just after law school, she spent 6 months volunteering at the Safe Horizon Immigration Law Project. For Colleen, teamwork is an essential component of practicing law, and she is grateful for the NYU clinic experience that helped her understand this. In her spare time, Colleen enjoys making (and eating!) ice cream and reading books about zombies, extra-terrestrials, and kid detectives.
