The faculty here, choose to be here because of the collaborative, open, friendly, supportive nature of this law school. Who you know, the connections that you've made while you're in law school are so important. That's important with our alumni relations. And it's important with our relationships between senior staff, and faculty and students. I've worked on cases with former students, I love that collaboration. The relationship doesn't end when they graduate. And I think that's one reason why our alumni come back year after year to be there for our students. It's because they've had an experience while they were students that is supportive and respectful.
You definitely want to get to know the faculty around you. And they've been in your shoes before they know what it's like, and they have a career that they've already lived as well. They can help you get to that next step that you want after you graduate. So definitely keep faculty close. You can use them for references, you can just go talk to them about something, ask them practical questions when it gets time for that when you get into your law career.
A great experience that I've had during my first year of law school at Mercer was getting to know Professor Rusik. So he hosted a house concert, that specific experience was great just because not only did I get to see him, but just other students in general. And we did that a couple of times actually just going over and hanging out. He really wanted to get us together as a student body and just you know, get to know one another and stuff like that. So that was cool.
