Read about Gloria’s experience:
Gloria Dandridge has wanted to be a lawyer since she was nine years old, but the desire got stronger as she got older. She understood that lawyers have a unique place in society, especially in the lives of their clients. Gloria earned her Bachelors of Arts in Political Science from the University of Illinois in Springfield. After giving her life and her career to Jesus, Gloria knew that she wanted to make a difference in people’s lives and use her career to glorify God. Her passion for international issues ignited when wrote a research paper about human trafficking. Gloria was then given the privileged to intern with the National Youth Council (NYC) in The Gambia, West Africa in the summer of 2014. NYC is a government organization that specifically advocates for the rights of the children in the country. Gloria then wrote her senior thesis on systemic injustice in America, which made her think about systemic injustice all over the world. These are all things that gave Gloria a passion for international human rights.
After Gloria’s second year at Regent University School of Law, she was able to spend her summer in Uganda. Gloria interned with the Land and Equity Movement of Uganda (LEMU), an organization that uses law and politics to bring change to Uganda by stimulating debate about land tenure and helping to protect the land rights of the vulnerable population in Uganda. Gloria conducted legal research on land grabbing, edited policy briefs, and even attended a mediation. Gloria is on the student staff at the Center for Global Justice, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law based at Regent University. The Center partners with different organizations world-wide who are in the fight against injustice and provides pro bono legal work to support those organizations. Gloria plans to continue to use her legal skills to help the Center and its partners.
