• “Interning at ASIS has been one of the best decisions I have made throughout my college career. I gained hands-on experience in the legal field, worked with real clients, and was given the opportunity to serve my community. In my work at ASIS, I felt like I was able to make a tangible difference in the lives of our clients by assisting in providing legal services to those who may not have access otherwise.” -Hannah, 2023

  • "My time as an ASIS intern was one of the highlights of my entire college career. I learned so much - not only about family-based immigration and all its specifics, but also about what it looks like to love my community well, serving with compassion, hope, and a desire to truly know and understand the stories of my neighbors." -Annalise, 2025
