Tonight’s Student Success Series focused on how to handle cold calls and class participation with confidence.

Thank you to SBA President Andrea Hernandez-Rodriguez and 3L Academic Success Fellows Will Earhart, Olivia Hudak, Ryan Manderbach and Jake Gray for sharing their experiences and practical advice with our 1Ls!

Some key takeaways: Come to class prepared, don’t try to be a court reporter and capture every word, review your notes regularly, and think of cold calls as an opportunity to put what you know into practice.

Join us Wednesday, Sept. 9, for a Bluebook Citation Workshop!
