2023 Legal Support Services Students

STUDENTS

College often is a fabulously constructive time of one's life; it's an opportunity for individual growth and maturation. Undergraduates try to capture what they are capable of and learn many of the must-have skills to become a flourishing adult. But growth is more than sitting in a classroom - the campus dialogue, the nugget of wisdom learned from an old professor, the exposure to a different point of view. As such, a diverse student experience greatly enriches what you gain from your time at university.
