student chronicles The Class of 2022 reports on highlights of the past year

“This summer I had the opportunity to give a speech along-

side Mayor Gloria regarding the need for more affordable housing in San Diego. I am very passionate about this initiative, and the opportunity to address the community and advocate for creating more housing that is affordable for all San Diegans was very inspiring and meaningful. —LINDSEY JACQUES

“ This past summer I interned with A+E Networks as a legal and business affairs

intern for the Los Angeles office. Although I had prior experience working at a studio, this was my first time working in the entertainment field in a legal capacity. As a result of the internship, I gained exposure to both studio and network divisions and got hands-on experience drafting agreements related to the development and production of original programming. This fall I am continuing to pursue my passion in entertainment law and currently work as a business affairs intern for ABC Signature, a part of the Walt Disney Company. In conjunction with the Corporate Counsel Externship course in which I am currently enrolled, I am gaining specialized knowledge in television production, deal-making and negotiations for above-the-line talent. —KRISTINA NAKAO

“During the pandemic, I took advantage of the extra time at home to become a foster for a local dog rescue, California Labs and More Rescue. I fostered seven puppies (one at a time, not at the same time)! It was a great experience.” —KELLEY SHEEHAN
