In early June, 30 undergraduate students from across the nation arrived at Silicon Flatirons' Startup Summer as strangers. In mid-August, they took center stage as teams of entrepreneurs and co-founders, pitching companies they had built from the ground up. The night was a celebration of their hard work and an opportunity for the Silicon Flatirons community to see the next generation of entrepreneurs in action.

Many of the students are continuing to build their companies after the conclusion of the program, putting the knowledge and networks they developed this summer to work as they move forward.

Our next 1L spotlight is Farees Choudhury. Farees is Bangladeshi, and was born and raised in Singapore. He graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2021, and has worked as a Patent Engineer/Analyst at Cardinal Intellectual Property (IP law firm) since 2021.

"I worked at a patent law firm (Cardinal Intellectual Property, Inc.) as a Patent Engineer/Analyst for the last 5 years and fell in love with Patent/Intellectual Property after completing over 650 cases. I believe that pursuing a law degree in Patent Law is the next natural step for my career as I would love to be on the frontline in helping scientists, innovators, and companies get patents/intellectual property rights on their inventions. I also believe that Patent Law would stimulate and cultivate my scientific mind and passion in helping people."

Yesterday, Professor Sarah Matsumoto presented at the Sesquicentennial Faculty Scholars event.

Matsumoto’s talk highlighted how Colorado Law's legal experts helped shape a new program that changes the way the Clean Water Act is applied to wetlands and certain types of streams, and how the Getches-Green Natural Resources, Energy, and Environmental Law Clinic represented clients in the rulemaking process to develop new regulations for that law.

Her goal was to give attendees some insight into the life of student attorneys who work in the clinic, and the ways in which their work has real-world outcomes. Along with the other scholars, Matsumoto felt that it was important to showcase the role that higher education plays in addressing urgent environmental challenges while furthering the public good.
