Anna Cooper is a first-year student at DePaul University College of Law. Before law school, Anna attended Illinois Wesleyan University where she graduated with a BA in History with a double minor in Political Science and Religious Studies. Because of her background as a Korean Adoptee, her research was largely focused on the Korean independence movement. Currently, Anna works with the DMC as an Advocate Intern and is focused on highlighting alumni experiences in the migration field through the DMC’s Migration Advocates Video Project.
What does working for the DMC mean to you?
For me, working for the DMC has been a rewarding and enlightening experience. Because I have yet to decide which specific area of law I want to pursue, being able to interview established DePaul alumni about their current work within the fields of migration and immigration has been an invaluable experience that is irreplicable within a classroom environment. Through these interviews, I am able to talk to and learn from experienced professionals within the migration and immigration fields about subjects that I have not have much prior exposure to but are at the foundation of American society.
