"And while the Center itself is an academic community that includes a Masters program, an undergraduate certificate program, and even a Summer Law & Trial Institute for high school students, it’s something even more intimate in its actual confines.

A normal day within the Center is anything but normal – you’ll always find a different set of about six or seven people at a time, helping each other with homework, deep in a conversation, or just getting to know each other better.

These students have found a home within the Center, something that hadn’t been possible for them to find elsewhere on campus."
