Student Ambassadors

Student Ambassadors

All new students are assigned to an ILSP Team which is led by a Student Ambassador. The Student Ambassadors are upper class students who have been selected for their interest in helping members of the entering class succeed. Your ambassador will assist and guide you through your first semester and will be available throughout your first year of law school. Your Ambassador will e-mail you this summer to answer any questions you may have and you will meet your Ambassador when you check-in at the ILSP on Monday, August 13th.
