Pre-Law Spotlight: Jessica Chelst

photo of Jessica Chelst"The Sue J. Henry Center for Pre-law Education has been really amazing at helping me discover my interests in the legal field and narrow down possible interests for the type of law I want to pursue. Not only has being a Prodesse Scholar focusing on law and politics allowed me to have special opportunities to further my academic interests, but faculty such as pre-law director Maria Vitullo have been a great resource in preparing me for law school."
