At the beginning of the fall semester, Bradley’s Pre-Law Center saw a shift in leadership.
“Nicole Meyer, the previous director, resigned to take a position at a law firm in town,” Craig Curtis, associate professor of political science and current director of the Pre-Law Center, said. “We wish her the best. She did a fabulous job.”
Curtis will continue to teach political science courses, as well as serve as the Pre-Law Center’s director for the 2015-2016 school year.
“What we exist to do is provide services to students who are interested in law,” Curtis said. “First and foremost, that means one-on-one advising for students considering a career in law.”
The center helps students with the application process, research different law schools and helps students with future career decisions.
“Like the Smith Career Center, our services are available to students and alumni with perpetuity and without cost,” Curtis said. “We offer advising sessions and things like workshops year-round.”
The Pre-Law Center has a full calendar of events for the upcoming school year.
“We [had] a workshop this week, and on the sixth of October, Ohio Northern’s School of Law is sending an admissions representative,” said Curtis. “We want students to know what majors look better, what law school is actually like, what kind of jobs there are, are law professors really mean…Those common questions.”
The Pre-Law Center has also expanded their numerous resources to include social media.
“We have been dipping our toes very gingerly into social media,” Curtis said.
Curtis said he has recently entered the “Twittersphere,” establishing a Twitter account for the Pre-Law Center (@BUPreLawCenter).
“I will publicize the Graduate and Professional School Fair on the 22, which will have a lot of law schools,” Curtis said. “We also have a Facebook page at Bradley University Pre Law Center.”
Resources have also been made available to students online. Students can book advising sessions from the Pre-Law Center’s webpage on the Bradley website, as well as in person.
“It’s important that we have students’ needs met,” Curtis said. “We want you to be successful.”
