New Media Rights Assistant Director Erika Lee and Student Fellow Cristina Meisterling recently spoke with students in the Small Business Planning class at the San Diego College of Continuing Education. 
Student Fellow Cristina Meisterling had this to say about the experience: "Speaking with the SDCCE Business Planning Class was such a rewarding experience! It was great to speak with this group of entrepreneurs, and provide them with an overview how contract law and copyright law would come into play when starting their new businesses. They had insightful, important questions and they were a great group of individuals. I'm proud to be a part of New Media Rights, and so grateful for the opportunity to interact with creative individuals like the SDCCE students."
