Nicholas Cooke
I’m Nicholas Cooke—a first-generation college graduate, incoming 1L at Howard University School of Law, and the founder of Ragtag, a campus engagement app I built to help students feel less like strangers and more like a community. I’ve led initiatives supporting over 700 student orgs, pitched to VCs, and worked on everything from public policy to startup contracts—all with a deep belief that law can be a tool for equity and access. Whether I’m negotiating partnerships or mentoring peers, I lead with heart, hustle, and a vision for making corporate law more human and communally beneficial.
