Success Story
GRSJ alumna Sara Malkin credits the Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice Program (GRSJ) with giving her a critical foundation for her work as an Associate Lawyer. She is still in contact with a number of graduates from the Institute, and the graduates have gone on to fascinating, challenging careers for which GRSJ helped to prepare them. Read Sara Malkin’s story“When I look at any issue with clients and colleagues, I now have the unique ability to look at the very base of an issue: questioning and framing, that deconstruction piece, was probably the biggest. GRSJ gave me a very unique insight.” - Sara Malkin
