📌 LSAT 101 is free to attend and will take place on October 8th from 5:30-6:30 pm via Zoom.

Today, the Centers for Pre-Health and Pre-Law Advising celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr! It is also Presidential Inauguration Day and the start of Spring semester this week. A time of great change and also a time to stay focused: on our top priorities, our personal wellness, and our shared future.

As we collectively navigate so many challenging circumstances – on global, national, and local scales – we are grateful to work alongside colleagues and advisees committed to fighting for greater access and equity within the fields of health and law and greater justice within our broader communities.
