Nico Perrino

Nico graduated from Indiana University-Bloomington in 2012 with a B.A. in journalism and history. While in school, Nico was a member of the track and field team and served as president of the campus' chapter of Young Americans for Liberty. He also served as Editor-in-Chief for the Indiana Standard and as a reporter and columnist for the Indiana Daily Student. After spending the summer at FIRE in 2010 as an intern, Nico became active in the fight to protect student rights on campus through a position in the student government as Co-Executive Director of Legal Affairs and in his capacity as a journalist. He has been recognized for these efforts with a second-place finish in FIRE's Campus Freedom Network (CFN) 2011 Incentive Program, induction into the CFN's Prometheus Society, and also as a winner of 1 for All and the Knight Foundation's 2011 "Free to Tweet" contest. Nico's experience defending student rights on campus, coupled with his internship experiences at ESPN, Indiana University Press, Hirons & Company, and as a member of FIRE's 2010 internship class, make him a natural fit to defend these rights full time.
