"Once at Cornell, Click quickly discovered that there is actually quite a vibrant graduate and undergraduate Indigenous community here. The American Indian and Indigenous Study Program at Cornell is very involved in local Indigenous communities, so “even if the Law School only had a few Indigenous students, I could always find a community at Cornell, broadly,” said Click. “As a previous president of the Native American Law Students Association, I have been able to pull on those resources during my time here.”"
