About The Founder:

Katelyn Ringrose

Before attending Notre Dame Law, Katelyn Ringrose aided refugee and immigrant children through the immigration and naturalization process. Hearing her students describe fleeing their homes, suffering abuse, and witnessing the destruction of their culture inspired her to follow her goals of practicing immigration law. At Notre Dame Law, Katelyn is a first-year representative for two student groups and a member of the admissions council.
