This being my first recruiting season, I have so much to talk about!
My travels took me all over New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and California. I met some of the most intelligent, inquisitive, and insightful individuals. The level of preparation and depth of conversation was a bit surprising. I have seen the commitment [...]

Tonight VLS presents a speaker who just returned to the States from a meeting in Dakar of Women Living Under Muslim Laws, a meeting attended by women from Afghanistan, Iran and Indonesia, among other countries; a couple of weeks earlier she was in Geneva at a session of the UN Human Rights Council, where [...]

First of all, the Open House was fantastic. Despite heavy rain from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Ida, we had a record number of enthusiastic participants. Thanks to the VLS staff, students and faculty for your assistance.
Each year at VLS we have a tradition of hosting and sponsoring a community Thanksgiving dinner. This is the email invitation that [...]

We are all back in the office this week to organize the Open House on Saturday. Fingers are crossed for a perfect day.
First of all, we have had to move the campus location because of the large number of rsvp’s. What a great problem! Usually we have about 60 participants; this year we are anticipating [...]

It is now November 3rd, the first work day since the time change. I must say that the hardest adjustment I had to make when I moved from Florida to Vermont was how early it gets dark. It is 4:39 and the sky is dusk. By 5:00 it will be completely dark – and it [...]

Yes, I know that I have been very slack the with the blog postings. The fall is incredibly busy for admissions people because we are traveling all over the country. Last week was especially cool for me because it was a driving trip rather than dealing with the airlines and I love to drive.
When I [...]

In the fall of 2008, as Vermont Law School student Lise Daniels was beginning her second year of law school, the mother of four saw a need for lower-income legal aid in her rural New Hampshire community. Daniels’ Schweitzer project, which [...]

I recently finished a recruiting trip in Upstate NY. I made it to Buffalo, Rochester, Ithaca, Cornell, Binghamton, Syracuse, Colgate, Albany, and Potsdam. This was my first “big” trip, and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted with an abundance of recognition from the many students I [...]

Today was the LSAT exam. Earlier this week, I posted that we had 74 test takers registered, it was actually 72. I knew that we had a number of overflow testers from other sites because people were calling from Hanover (Dartmouth) and Boston. However, when I arrived at the school this morning at 7 am, [...]

Last week I was down in Central Florida – my old stomping grounds – to visit undergraduate campuses. On one hand, it felt like home again (I did live there for 16 years), but it also felt different. The construction never ends. Every place I went was just enough different to be confusing with new [...]
