Gabriel Noel '23 - Languages, Literatures and International Studies

My current role and position is now an Associate Deputy Clerk with the Clerk of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals in Madison, WI. I work with the Supreme Court commissioners, SC Justices, and many other parties. My role in the office is unique as only my direct supervisor and I do exactly what we do, working with Petitions of Writs of a variety, Leave to Appeals, and Original Actions. Our head clerk and chief deputy don’t know how to work with most of what we do. I helped submit RFK Jr’s petition this year to leave the ballot and the Planned Parenthood petition in the State of Wisconsin. I reviewed his submission and transmitted it to the Supreme Court's appropriate authorities. I also work on attorney disciplinary actions across the state with the Office of Lawyer Regulation, State Bar, and Board of Bar Examiners. 

My office is on the Capitol Square. 

I still hold my part-time position with the non-profit, Wisconsin Trust Account Foundation, remotely and in my free time. They work on providing attorneys for those under the poverty line in civil court cases.

I’ll be at this job and loving it for six months in December. I left my job with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, American Institute of Pakistan Studies, as a Project Coordinator this past March, and only maintained my part-time job and served part-time until I started this job at the end of May. I used my last paycheck from that job to go to Italy for the month of March and then came back, hopped on my bicycle, and found my current job.

That being said, I would advocate the NMU program and Dr. Ulland's direct leadership through my abroad program and in the international studies discipline because of the ability I found in the interdisciplinary education to leverage my different and broad humanitarian experiences to be able to go after most jobs I could possibly want currently, maybe save for STEM fields. I think the opportunity of graduating with this bachelor's also has given me the option for a career path, graduate programs, or both. I feel the sky’s the limit currently, so long as I keep my U.P. // NMU discipline guided forward.
