FIRE is delighted to welcome David Deerson to our staff as a program associate for FIRECampus Outreach! David joins the growing FIRE Student Network team as we gear up for our annual summer conference and make exciting outreach plans for this summer and for back-to-school season in the fall. David’s history with FIREas a 2011 summer intern and an active participant of ¹û¶³´«Ã½app¹Ù·½â€™s programs, along with his professional experience, make him a fantastic addition to our team as we work to expand our network of students, faculty, and alumni dedicated to defending civil liberties on their campuses.

While in school, he served as president of the UNC Young Americans for Liberty, with whom he won YAL’s national free speech activism award. His undergraduate activism also earned him a spot in ¹û¶³´«Ã½app¹Ù·½â€™s Prometheus Society.
