Last Friday, 6 March 2009, the Ateneo Human Rights Center (AHRC) held it's very first Alumni Interns Homecoming at the Ateneo Professional Schools Campus.
Since the Center started in 1987, its internship program has produced hundreds of interns/lawyers found in various fields, professions and places throughout the country, and even the world. Today, more and more interns are being trained, developed and guided by the AHRC to become lawyers grounded on values and principles rooted in service and justice for all.
I'm part of the Sem-Break 2006 Batch of interns, our batch name is multi-Linear (or mL for short). I believe it is a great honor and privilege to have been given the opportunity to become part of a tradition which dates back to more than 2 decades now. Last Friday, it was heart-warming and inspiring to see a good number of alumni interns sharing old stories, laughing and talking about their experiences in living a life as an intern/lawyer. Hearing their stories inspired us resident interns to live up to the motto of the Center, which is to learn the law and to serve the people.
Congratulations to the organizers of the 1st Alumni Interns Homecoming, which will now be a yearly event based on the consensus reached last Friday, and here's to the successful launch of the Alumni Affairs Office. May the Alumni Interns Community continue on growing and helping the Ateneo Human Rights Center grow.
Once an intern, always an intern!
