On NDLS:
Growing up in Southern California, I never intended to leave the coast. It wasn’t until I started talking to current students, and alumni that I began to appreciate the unique educational opportunity Notre Dame offers. This is largely because of the sense of community it instills in students, and all those affiliated with the University. Not only are the students dedicated to advancing their legal and moral educations, but they are also deeply committed to helping others. Now that I’m here, I can’t imagine myself anywhere else.
