Hi everyone,

This week I wanted to let you all know of some new and incredible things that have been happening on campus!

First off, we have a brand new campus! Revealed in August, it includes new lecture and seminar classrooms, new individual and group student study spaces, and my personal favorite, a brand new, state-of-the-art moot court room. It's completely stunning and if you want to see for yourself, please click here (disclaimer: these pictures were taken during the planning phase, so review them with a slight grain of salt):http://www.slaw.neu.edu/albums/2008/dockser-03/ .

Secondly, we have two new dual degree programs. They were both finalized over the summer, so we are still in the process of putting the details on our websites. Be on the lookout for more information. First, we have established a daul degree program with Brandeis' Heller School. This program will allow students to get both their J.D. and a Master's Degree in Sustainable International Development. Second, we have established a dual degree program with Vermont Law School. Under this program, students can receive both their J.D. and Master's Degree in Environmental Law and Policy - all in just three years. Very exciting!

Third, we have a brand new website that will be launched soon. I'm sure you cannot wait and neither can I!

Finally, we have new bloggers joining us this fall to give you alternative perspectives on life at NUSL...

So, those are the updates for now...if you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Hello out there,

I hope that this posting finds all of you doing well and winding down from what I hope was a very exciting summer!

As many of you know, I graduated from NUSL on May 23 and took the Georgia bar examination on July 29th and 30th. I will get the results of the exam sometime in early November, so I am writing to tell you all about my new role with NUSL that will help me pass the time.

I have accepted a temporary position with the Admissions office here and my role will entail speaking to prospective students about our program here. I will be on the road and travelling all over the country to attend law forums and fairs and graduate and professional school fairs. I am really excited about my role because I really enjoy travelling.

My plan for this blog is to share with you questions that I have heard on the road about Northeastern's law program. I am really excited about this new role and anticipate meeting you all.

Until my first fair (next Tuesday), if there is anything you would like me to address, please do not hesitate to leave a comment.

Take care.
