Our Student Leaders have advice for you!
- “Reach out to Professors, classmates, and everyone in the department with your questions and concerns. They are your second family, and they want to help you!” (Kinga L., Senior)
- “Take advantage of our program’s wide-ranging impact. Our courses help you understand and appreciate law, and they offer skills to address real-world legal challenges.” (Faheem A., Senior)
- “Make every possible connection with students, Professors, staff, everyone. It’s all about creating opportunities, which by definition requires others.” (Abigail T., SGA Senator for Accessibilities)
- “When you don’t understand a concept from a lecture, attend your Professor’s office hours and they will be happy to help you.” (Tiara Y., BS ’19)
- “Communicate every semester with your academic advisor to make sure your classes are on the track to graduation.” (Hannah L., Upper Junior)
- “Don’t be afraid of asking questions, Professors may look scary in class but they are very comforting in their office hours! They know and feel our pain as well.” (May S., Senior)
