Update 10/17:

We have three more law school information sessions planned for the remainder of this month:

1. On Thursday October 18, Jessica Anderson JD, Assistant Dean for Admissions at Indiana Tech University will visit LVC.  Jessica will meet students in N-G 204 from 12:30 to 1:40 on Thursday October 18.  She will be able to explain the law school admissions process and highlight the attractive features of her new law school program.  Any student who is considering an application to law school will benefit greatly from hearing her advice and having the opportunity to raise questions with a person with years of experience in selecting applicants for law school admission.

2. On Tuesday October 23, Ana del Puerto, Assistant Admissions Director for Widener University Law School, will be available to meet students in the lobby to the Mund Student Center from 11am until 12:00 noon.  Starting shortly after noon we will organize a brief workshop (Lower Level Programming Room in Mund) at which Ana will be able to explain the Widener Law Program and answer questions from students exploring the possibility of a law school application.  I have worked with Ana and her colleagues at Widener over a number of years and they have always taken particular interest in LVC applicants to the Widener Law School (both Wilmington, Delaware, and Harrisburg PA campuses)

3. Please note Rescheduled Time & Day: NOW THursday November 1, Brettanie Layson, an Admissions Representative from Mercer School of Law in Georgia, will be available to meet students in the lobby to the Mund Student Center from 11am until 12:00 noon. Starting shortly after noon we will organize a brief workshop (New Room: Tweedie 1 & 2 [by Mund Lobby}) at which Brettanie will be able to explain the Mercer Law Program and answer questions from students exploring the possibility of a law school application.
