Thank you for listening in Legal Profession!
Here are some details on a new initiative we are launching: Peer-to-Peer Advocates
WHO: 1Ls join us for a new program aimed at assisting you in the transition with your first year at UB School of Law.
WHY: The Peer-to-Peer Advocate Program is a new initiative designed to be a structured, consistent, and purposeful program to create relationships between new students and upper-level students, who will provide acceptance, support, encouragement, guidance, and concrete assistance to promote healthy development and student success.
YOUR EXPECTATIONS AS A NEW STUDENT: Your assigned 3L 9or 2L) advocate will reach out to you for a fall semester meeting that will provide a safe haven to voice questions, concerns, or potential problems. Throughout the year, you may contact your advocate with any questions or concerns that may arise.
GOALS:
- To help students confidently navigate their first year of law school and answer student-based questions.
- To support new students by facilitating their success and wellbeing.
- To provide new students an informal opportunity to network within the law school.
- To foster a welcoming environment.
- To assist students in creating a healthy work-life balance.
