The McConnell Center prides itself on offering an array of opportunities to both the university and the wider Louisville community. While the majority of their events exist within the tiers of leadership, scholarship, and service, some do stray outside of these parameters. Such events make for unique experiences.
Over the years, I have increasingly come to consider the opportunity of a legal career. There are many aspects of the occupation that I would enjoy and others that I have learned are not so joyful. Regardless of personal considerations, however, I can always fall back on the plentiful knowledge of the McConnell Center for aid.
Numerous former scholars have served or are serving in the legal profession. Their experiences range from Washington D.C. to businesses throughout the state of Kentucky. As a junior, I have given the utmost attention to gleaning information from these former scholars. I did so while interning for Senator McConnell and continued to do so during our numerous alumni events. It is my hope that they may teach me how to someday achieve success in law school and in the legal field.
Additionally, the McConnell program is not without faculty advisors for those interested in law. Professors throughout the university and community have been more than willing to share insider information on what law schools are looking for and how to find future success within that tough curriculum. Again, whether through taking their classes or questioning them during an event, McConnell Center faculty advisors have always been more than helpful in aiding my career pursuits. For these experiences I will continually thank the McConnell Center and pride myself on being one of its scholars.
Sincerely,
Blake Christopher
