Demetrius Chapin-Rienzo, Advisory Board Member

Demetrius is in the final year of a joint-degree program in law and public policy. He spent his first two years at Boalt Hall where he took a great interest in revitalizing the Coalition For Diversity, a student group working toward a more diverse faculty and student body. While at Boalt, he served as vice-president of the Student Association and began working with EJS in 2001 while clerking at the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights.

Demetrius is currently attending University of California at Los Angeles where he is finishing up a Public Policy Master's degree with a concentration in urban poverty. He was a panelist at NYU's "Strategizing Diversity" conference and EJS' inaugural conference at Harvard in the spring of 2002.

Demetrius continues to serve as the student representative on the EJS Advisory Board and hopes to establish a national network of progressive and pro-diversity law students. He received his B.A. in Sociology from the University of California at San Diego in 1999.
