Diego Parravicini '97: Legum Magister in Colorado, USA

Last May, Diego Parravicini '97 graduated from the University of Denver (DU) as Legum Magister in Environmental and Natural Resources Law & Policy. Diego first became a lawyer at UNT and went to Colorado for grad school. His future looks as bright as his academic accomplishments.

For the time being, he will stay in Denver where he is still part of some DU projects and, over the summer (June through September), he will be working for a Law Firm specialized in Environmental Law. Only after that shall we have Diego back in Argentina.

About his time in the US, Diego says he has just had one of the best experiences in his life. At DU, apart from grad school, he was a Teaching Assistant, a position usually offered to the best qualified grad students. He also travelled widely around the country and made tons of friends in the host culture. "Siempre pienso en lo importante que fue el inglés del colegio para lograr objetivos como el que logré. Yo estuve seis años sin estudiar inglés -los años que me tomó la carrera de abogacía en la UNT. Volví a agarrar los libros para rendir el TOEFL y no me costó nada. Es que la base que da el colegio es excelente en ese sentido."
