About Alex Bourne, 1L

Undergrad School: University of Texas at Austin

Major: International Relations and National Security

I found my second home at Mizzou Law. I’m so happy I came back to the Midwest to pursue my legal education, and the faculty and staff have made all the difference! I love how everyone genuinely cares about your wellbeing, and your fellow students only want to see you succeed. We also have so many amazing opportunities to grow and learn from each other, and everything is easily accessible through our CDO and events held throughout the semester.

Prior to coming to Mizzou Law, I worked abroad in Panama, Germany, and Japan, my favorite job working on constitutional democracy and artificial intelligence. During my undergraduate degree, I worked in federal, state, and local levels of government. In my free time, I love to visit new coffee shops around Columbia, watch horror movies, and create crafts with my friends. My door is always open to everyone, so don’t be a stranger!
