Merrick Studer, a law student at University of Oregon, is a 2025 summer intern with Legal Aid Services of Oregon, supported by a grant from the Oregon Women Lawyers Foundation. Merrick was a 2023 graduate of the University of Washington, where he received a BS in Biology: Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation as part of an interdisciplinary honors program. While an undergrad he worked as a paleobotany research assistant at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture and, perhaps most notably, as a University of Washington mascot. Merrick hopes to use his experience and skills to help those most adversely affected by the climate crisis.
