Transcript

Okay everyone, let’s get to know Alyssa. She’s a sophomore majoring in political science with a minor in business. And she plans to become a lawyer. The U offers 12 pre-professional advising tracks And Alyssa is gonna explain how The U’s pre-law program has put her on the path to achieve her future goals. Take it away, Alyssa.

– Thanks Alex. My education is the most important thing to me. As a first-generation student, I’ve been able to uncover the stepping stones to law school here at The U with the help of their pre-professional programs. I was looking for a university that was close to home because friends and family are everything to me. And one that also offered me the tools to be successful in my future career. The U has it all. It’s world renowned professors, diversity, welcoming culture and pre-professional programs were exciting to me as a prospective student. Th U offers professional advising and helped me learn the path that I wanted to take. I eventually joined the pre-law LEAP program. This three-year cohort program has brought me many friends who share my same interests and has also exposed me to what the law is really like. We’ve read books about supreme court justices, we’ve heard from many lawyers and judges about their daily lives, and we’ve also learned what to expect for law school. It is also helping me get an internship at a local law firm and preparing me for my future endeavors ahead. Of course, I’m still going on adventures around Utah and love going to concerts and games here. I never would have imagined that I would have so much fun while discovering myself and my passions in college. The U’s pre-professional advising programs and learning cohorts can help you on your personal journey to success. And that is why I love The U. I’m exactly where I meant to be. I can’t wait for law school because I know that the connections, mindset and skills that I’ve gained during my time here at The U, that I’ll be successful in whatever I put my mind to. That’s my story. Thanks for listening. Back to you, Alex.

– Thank you so much, Alyssa. I loved hearing about how the LEAP program not only gave you access to professional development, but also strengthened your connection to the school community. We wish you luck on your path to law school. Thanks again.
