Law Students Reach Out to Prospective Students and Alumni

 
To enhance its student recruitment efforts, the Admissions Office has initiated a new student program, the School
of Law Advocates. Fifteen students were selected by student organizations to participate based on their contributions to the school.


The School of Law Advocates support Admissions Office activities, recruit new students, and promote positive relations with prospective students, alumni, and community members. The Advocates give school tours, participate in alumni events, create outreach projects, and assist with open houses and information sessions. They recently helped host a Minority Recruitment Day, with one prospective student commenting, “It really gave me the direction I needed in preparing for law school. I want to thank all of the students and staff who aided me in this process.”

Prospective and current students alike can benefit from the program. Overture E. Walker, who was an Advocate before graduating in December 2004, said, “The School of Law Advocates program is a tremendous addition and asset to the law school. The program is an excellent reflection of the spirit of the school and enables prospective students to gain a realistic view of the law school through the eyes of current students.”

Recognizing the value of the Advocates beyond its impact on students, Paul Rollins, assistant dean for student affairs, sees the program extending a hand to the entire community. “Each student who has been selected as an Advocate is committed to presenting a positive image of the law school. This institution is proud to have such a distinguished and accomplished group of students as its representatives.”

We extend a special thanks to all those alums for their gifts.
