FSU Law is committed to fostering a stimulating and supportive environment in which all students can achieve their full academic potential.
Academic Support Fellows
In the fall of 2022, the FSU Law Academic Programs Office introduced its inaugural class of academic support fellows. Program fellows are academically successful 2L and 3L students who possess strong interpersonal skills, patience, maturity, and a desire to assist their peers in learning core academic skills and strategies. Fellows lead small-group workshops to help equip students with key tools to increase their academic success. Workshop topics include note taking, exam preparation, case briefing, study schedules, and time management. In addition to the workshops, fellows are available through weekly office hours for individual appointments. The student-centered program was created by Assistant Dean for Academic Programs Karusha Y. Sharpe.
