Practice Makes Perfect
Jackson wanted to try out an in-house role and was attracted to Takeda by his supervisor’s promise to have him experience as many different areas of the company as possible, including research and development as well as the role of a brand attorney. “They’ve been true to their word,” he notes. “For example, I told them I was inter- ested in privacy, and they’ve given me opportunities to work with their privacy people.”
Jackson expected to enjoy the work at Takeda, and he does. To him, the surprise has been the people. “Everybody has been so welcoming, going out of their way to introduce themselves and give me work,” he concludes. “It makes me feel like a full-time employee rather than someone who is here for 14 weeks.”

Co-op with Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation
As a sixth-generation settler on Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) land, I am deeply invested in being of service to this land and its peoples. The Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation is not only a leader in Indigenous rights advocacy, but also the only nonprofit law firm that exclusively practices Native Hawaiian rights law.
This co-op has provided me with an invaluable perspective on the choices and tensions that are present when using law as a tool for decolonization.
Co-op with Mintz
“I picked this co-op because within the world of immigration law, employment-based immigration was the only area I had yet to experience. I’m enjoying learning about various areas of science, business, medicine and other professional work while acquiring the skill of writing employer support letters. This co-op is just the type of expe- rience that will help me advance toward my goal of one day opening an immigration law practice in my home state of Vermont.”
