The Utah Center for Legal Inclusion is proud to honor and thank the inaugural class of Summer Ambassadors for their outstanding work, drive, and commitment to UCLI’s mission. This distinguished group included: Jordan Evans, Daniela Valdama Roca, Ale Benavides, Ella Paligo, Tyson Udy, and Maya Hughes, who have all truly made their mark on UCLI and paved the way for future Ambassadors to follow in their footsteps.
The UCLI Ambassador Program was created for undergraduate students and recent graduates who are passionate about law, public service, and creating a more fair and just legal system as an opportunity to formally volunteer with the organization. UCLI Ambassadors this semester gained hands-on experience by working closely with UCLI staff, interns, and community partners on initiatives that made a real difference in our community.
This summer, UCLI Ambassadors went above and beyond. From assisting with the creation of a scholarship database, designing impactful social media campaigns, and updating resources on our website, to supporting the launch of UCLI’s upcoming podcast, building accessible LSAT study spaces in Salt Lake and Provo, and preparing backpacks for the Back-to-School Drive, their contributions were both wide-ranging and deeply meaningful. Many also helped connect UCLI to their own undergraduate institutions, further broadening our reach and deepening our impact.
UCLI also hosted a recognition event with staff, interns, and Ambassadors to honor the incredible work accomplished this semester. It has truly been a privilege to work alongside such talented and passionate individuals. Each Ambassador brought unique skills, energy, and heart to their work, and in doing so, helped strengthen UCLI’s role within Utah’s legal community. We are immensely proud of all they have achieved and are confident that they will continue to do extraordinary things as they pursue law school and their future careers in the legal profession.
To our 2025 Summer Ambassadors: Thank you for your hard work, your dedication, and the footprint you have left on UCLI. Your contributions will have a lasting impact, and we cannot wait to see the incredible futures you will build!
