Bienvenido, Bem-Vindo, Bienvenue, Welcome: New Students From Six Countries Begin LLM & MRLS Graduate Program Studies

Today marked the beginning of environmental and natural resources law and policy studies at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law for nearly 20 graduate students.

Lucy Daberkow, assistant director, and I were delighted to welcome each of the students in the group. And an impressive group it is!

First, the geographical diversity is impressive. The students who have just started the program are from the following countries:

• Brazil
• India
• Nigeria
• Peru

• United States

This year's program also has students (who began in August) from the following countries (and who are continuing their studies this semester):

• Argentina
• Ghana
• Republic of Lebanon
• Islamic Republic of Iran
• Mexico
• Thailand

All told, the program includes students from 12 different countries, a very impressive number and one that reflects the richness and diversity that make the DU program second to none among environmental and natural resources programs at U.S. law schools.

In addition, the students who joined us today come from a variety of different backgrounds including the following:

• Business
• Computer information systems
• Engineering
• Government
• Law

From all of us at the DU Sturm College of Law bienvenido, bienvenue, benvenuti, bem-vindo, welcome!
