Thanks to the GWC and the David Harrison Innovations in Water and Energy Law & Policy Fellowship, Celeste Baro '27 had the incredible opportunity this summer to work in Jakarta, Indonesia with the Indonesia Ocean Justice Initiative (IOJI). This fellowship made it possible for me to immerse myself in international law practice in another country, gaining firsthand experience in the intersection of environmental protection, maritime security, and human rights.

In late June, Andrea Shipton '26 attended a retreat with other law and graduate students in the Wyss Scholars Program. This event, held in Washington State this year, allowed the incoming class of scholars to spend time together and chat about our studies, summer work experience, and career goals.

The Acequia Assistance Project is entering its 14th year of providing pro bono legal services to the acequia community in Colorado’s San Luis Valley. Each year the project accepts new cases – ranging from helping acequia members write or amend their ditches bylaws, file articles of incorporation, or prove their water rights – and first year law students take on the challenge, and opportunity, of engaging in meaningful legal work, under supervision of a supervising attorney.

This fall, we are excited to welcome Professor Govind Persad to our faculty as Associate Professor of Law!

Professor Persad’s research applies methods from bioethics and social philosophy to law in order to address longstanding and new problems at the interface of health law and policy.
