Andrew Klimaszewski C'17
Andrew is a 2017 graduate of the College, where he majored in economics and minored in political science.
In the winter of his senior year, he planned on enrolling in a master of business and management program in Sweden, but by May, he decided not to follow through on it. Unsure about what he actually wanted to do, he began a fellowship at the U.S. Department of Energy, where he worked on a variety of energy policy issues. While working, he figured out that law school was the next step for him to pursue his interests. After working for a year, he enrolled at UCLA School of Law, where he is currently a third-year law student. After law school, he will be staying in L.A. and working in renewable energy law.
