In looking back at his internship with U.S. District Judge Malachy E. Mannion as a senior, Ian Madigan '19 writes, “The paramount memory of my internship with [the judge] was the conversations we had not only about the law, but also about life. Following every court proceeding, the judge would take the time to call me into his office and break down everything that just occurred. The level of attention he paid to my education on the matters was indispensable."

Madigan earned a Master of Professional Studies degree in Homeland Security from Penn State ºìÌÒÊÓƵ.
