HIGH POINT, N.C., Dec. 3, 2015 – High Point University’s pre-law professional program and the Office of Career and Professional Development hosted a law school fair on HPU’s campus Nov. 4. In addition to North Carolina, the 14 schools in attendance were from Florida, Georgia, Washington D.C., Maryland, Massachusetts and New York.
The event served as an opportunity to connect students with law school representatives while the representatives gained an introduction to HPU’s campus and student population.
Students across many disciplines and academic years attended the fair to interact with law school representatives. They gained information about programs and asked questions about the application process. Many of the students expressed gratitude for the opportunity to connect with schools through an on-campus event.
“Students who attended represented a wide variety of academic disciplines and expressed excitement about having quality one-on-one time with a geographically diverse range of schools,” said Lindsay Kremer, office manager for the Office of Career and Professional Development.
Pre-law advisors, Dr. Donna Scheidt and Dr. Scott Ingram, as well as the Office of Career and Professional Development plan to host similar events in the future.
“We hope that the fall law school fair starts a tradition of bringing law schools more regularly to HPU,” said Scheidt.
Plans for a fall 2016 law school fair are already underway with the hopes of continuing to attract programs of interest to HPU students.
