Diverse Pathways to Law: Navigating Your Unique Experience
Session 1
Law schools value diverse experiences and backgrounds, recognizing that each student's journey brings unique perspectives to the legal field. This webinar is designed for prospective students to explore how their individual experiences and backgrounds can enhance their law school journey and career in law.
In this first session, we’ll cover:
- First-Generation College Students: Understand the specific resources and support available for first-generation college students at Illinois Law. Learn about programs and initiatives designed to help you transition smoothly into law school.
- Non-traditional Students and Career Changers: Explore the opportunities and challenges faced by older students and those pursuing a second career in law. Discover how Illinois Law supports students with diverse career paths and life experiences.
- Students from Underrepresented Groups: Learn about the initiatives and support systems at Illinois Law aimed at fostering inclusion and diversity. Find out how the school supports students from underrepresented groups in achieving their academic and career goals.
(Session 2 in January will focus on the unique perspectives and support for students with disabilities, veterans and military students, and international students.)
