Prep Alum is New President of Harvard Law Review

“[The] conversations that go on within and outside our pages have an effect on the law,” Thomas told The Root. “It’s important that those conversations reflect the full range of experience of the people who interact with the law and, that is to say, all of us.” 

“We are incredibly proud of Michael and thrilled to see him take on this historic role,” said Aileen Hefferren, Prep for Prep’s Chief Executive. “As the first Prep alum to become president of the Harvard Law Review, he has the potential to impact the legal history of the nation. He is an inspiring role model for all students and alumni in the Prep Community.”

He also returned to Prep as an Advisor to mentor younger students in the program. As an undergraduate at Princeton, Michael co-founded a social entrepreneurship venture that utilizes fog harvesting technology to produce potable water.
