Meet James!
"I am excited about all of the events the executive board has planned, particularly the retreat! Working alongside the rest of the e-board this summer has been fantastic, as everyone is so passionate about public interest. I look forward to building up our Public Interest community and I am eager to meet all of new members as the semester progresses!"

Welcome Temi!
"I’m excited about finding out different ways and avenues to create meaningful change for the various communities who have been denied rights for centuries and equipping the next generation to have the tools to enact that change as well. I feel like to me the BU PI community just embodies that one quote that’s like “if you wanna go fast go alone but if you wanna go far go together”. We can do so much more when we all work together to help those less fortunate than us and hopefully leave this world better off than how we came into it."

Please welcome Eric!
"There are a lot of good questions to ask and conversations to have about what Public Interest is and should be. I'm excited to help foster a community at BU Law that looks forward to exploring different ways we can pursue our goals collaboratively. I want this club to bring people in and grow connections between peers that outlive the hustle and bustle of law school."
