Phil Hardy, a third year student at Hofstra Law, has been chosen to participate in the prestigious Kenneth G. Standard Diversity Internship Program sponsored by the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA). For his internship, Phil will work as a summer associate in the corporate legal department at PepsiCo. Only 9 students were selected for the internship this year.

Now in its fifth year, the program’s goal is to increase the representation of lawyers and students from a diverse range of backgrounds in corporate legal departments, and to provide the students with an opportunity to experience in-house legal practice.
