Some testimonials from previous fellows:
“The Food and Agriculture LLM fellowship is an exceptional dual opportunity to receive a graduate degree and practical work experience at the same time. The program also offers an array of courses, and the fellow is able to tailor their graduate experience to their career aspirations, of course with great guidance from the faculty at CAFS.” –Esther Akwii LLM’20, clinical fellow, Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic; read more about Esther’s experience here.
“My experience at VLS allowed me to hit the ground running at FDA so that I could begin serving the public interest from day one on the job. My fellow students and colleagues were as committed and passionate as I was about the food system and environmental issues, which made for even richer learning.”– Carrie Scrufari LLM’16, associate chief counsel, Food and Drug Administration (FDA); read more about Carrie’s experience here.
