Michael David Harris

Looking back, what did you most enjoy about your time at Bard College Berlin?
Focus on critical thinking and questioning a popular idea, and close reading of a text that became useful for a legal career.

How would you describe, in a nutshell, the experience of studying at BCB?
First, it was a community and second, it was a college. The courses were very interesting and the faculty became our close friends. 

Write briefly about one of your courses that left a lasting impression on you.
Took a class “On Terrorism” where we read about theories of terrorism and the growing security state to combat it. 

How has BCB influenced the path you've taken since completing the program? 
Definitely attracted me to working in international business and global transactions. 

Where are you now and what are you doing?
I am Associate at Latham & Watkins LLP.

Any advice you would give to students considering BCB?
Definitely experience the most of Berlin while there. Try to stay connected with colleagues after you leave. I still have a close friend from my ECLA years.
