What do you feel is unique about the College of Law?
Being able to go to law school walking distance from the capitol of the state is an incredible advantage we are afforded. The College of Law’s location in Tallahassee provides us with excellent employment and networking opportunities by being just a few blocks away from the State Capitol Complex and the Florida Supreme Court. Tallahassee also has this feel of being both a larger city and a close-knit college town which I really think is special. 

How have you interacted with our alumni network?
I have had a wonderful experience with our alumni by becoming a member of groups like the Tallahassee Bar Association and the Young Lawyers section of the Tallahassee Bar. These organizations host fun networking events each month where students are able to interact with lawyers in Tallahassee and make some lasting connections with them. From my experiences, FSU Law alumni are extremely receptive to law students, are very welcoming, and are willing to help in any way they can. 

What has been the best experience you have had at the College of Law thus far?
It stands out to me how easy it has been to get involved with various student organizations and learn more about topics I never thought I would have any interest in learning. The College of Law boasts a large assortment of student clubs and associations which have allowed me to make new friends and attend some pretty interesting seminars. These seminars have been valuable in enhancing my education in areas like legal research and have allowed me to meet professionals from wide variety of industries.

Why did you become a student ambassador?
As an out of state student, I was apprehensive at the thought of being so far away from home and my experiences with FSU Law before school began eased my fears. I felt right at home during my tour as a prospective student, and the student ambassadors were extremely helpful in offering advice. I enjoy being able to pass forward this feeling to new prospective students of FSU Law. Serving as an ambassador allows me to interact with new people, show prospective students how wonderful the culture at FSU Law is, and ensure them of how quickly they can become a part of the family atmosphere here.
