Extern with The CSE Institute
“My experience as an extern for the Villanova Law CSE Institute taught me to be an effective ally and legal advocate for survivors of commercial sexual exploitation. I learned to listen to survivors and to ensure that any work I do in combatting CSE is survivor-centered and trauma-informed. Now, I’m putting these lessons to use as an attorney with pro bono work focused on assisting survivors in vacating criminal records acquired as a result of being trafficked #listentosurvivors.” Marie-Bussey Garza, VLS, JD Class of 2017
“The CSE Institute is a unique and amazing learning experience. I gained new skills that have helped me become a better student and will carry over into my career. It presents a mix of academic research and real-world involvement that opened my eyes to commercial sexual exploitation, the laws and policies in play, the organizations and people working to address the problem, and the woman and children caught up in the abuse. Being part of the CSE Institute has been life-changing and the best part of my legal education.” Alayna Brauer, VLS, JD Class of 2016
