"As the past president of the Student Board of Governors, I worked very closely with the Dean of Students Office and its knowledgeable and helpful staff. They provided me with the tools to advocate on behalf of my fellow students. I will use skills obtained in the classroom and experiences gained in leading a student organization to counsel and advocate on behalf of my clients.”
- Allison Bentley, ’09
