Working closely with community partners, donors, and families, Kuhu leads the effort in creating and implementing high-quality, innovative, and interactive youth development programming for Detroit youth ages 14 to 24. Give Merit and the FATE Program exist to enhance and extend educational opportunities for Detroit youth through innovative mentorship, enrichment, and athletic activities. Kuhu and her team are intent on helping young people aspire, believe, and contribute while creating platforms for them to create the future.

Toni Newell (‘99) is living proof that a U-M liberal arts and sciences degree will take you anywhere. She credits that it was her LSA degree that taught her how to think, and not what to think, a skill that has led to her success across a variety of fields. She attended Michigan to study Film and Video Studies and worked in television shortly after graduating. While thriving in the television industry, Toni realized she could do more than the Silver Screen and made the decision to go back to law school. After graduating, she accepted a position at Varnum LLP where she gained experience working in a variety of corporate matters, including mergers and acquisitions, contracting, and banking compliance. Despite a successful career in law, she again flipped the ‘the script’ of her professional career in early 2020 when she pivoted her direction towards the nonprofit sector by joining Catholic Charities. From film to law to nonprofits, Toni highlights the flexibility that an LSA degree can offer, and is now coming back to campus to share her hard-earned wisdom and life lessons with current LSA students.

About Toni:

Toni currently serves as Interim Executive Director of Catholic Charities’ Diocese of Kalamazoo. Toni is a native of Michigan, growing up in the small town of Hopkins. She graduated from the University of Michigan in December 1999, receiving a B.A., with distinction, in Film and Video Studies (now known as Film, Television, and Media). While at Michigan, she participated in the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program. Prior to attending law school, Toni worked at WXMI-Fox 17 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, first as a master control operator and then as an account executive. In May 2001, Toni moved to Washington, DC, to work in the legislative office of Senator Debbie Stabenow. In August 2002, Toni began law school at Notre Dame Law School, graduating in May 2005. She had internships both summers of law school, working for Legal Aid of Western Michigan and the Barry County Prosecuting Attorney. Upon graduation, Toni worked as a law clerk for the Honorable George Corsiglia in the Allegan County Circuit Court. She then worked as a staff attorney for Legal Aid of Western Michigan prior to her time at Varnum where she worked her way up to partner. Toni left Varnum in 2020 to make the transition to Catholic Charities where she currently works.

You never know what an internship experience can teach you. Jody Weinberg (‘91 English & Political Science) credits internships with testing her interests and ultimately discovering her passion for law. Her résumé reads like a diverse list of internship opportunities that students across LSA may pursue, interning at places like a county government, a governmental legal department with public counsel supporting victims of a race uprising, at the Marshal’s office of the U.S. Supreme Court, and in the legal department at an entertainment company that is the predecessor of NBCUniversal. Today, she is Vice President of Business Affairs and Legal Counsel at Pixar Animation Studios. In this Alum Connection, Jody will shed light on what she learned navigating different legal environments and how these internships supplemented the excellent education she got at LSA and Pepperdine University. Join us to hear her story and to ask your questions about launching a career in law.
