Roger Williams University School of Law welcomes the community to attend a conversation with Eddie Ahn, Executive Director at Brightline Defense, an accomplished environmental lawyer, and graphic memoirist, on Thursday, March 20, at 2:45 p.m.
Sarah Jane Pruell L'25 reflects on her journey to law school and her years as a part-time student juggling work, school, and two young children, one of whom was born shortly before summer term exams.
When Gina George started her first year at Roger Williams University School of Law, her family worried about her. Coming from New York, she was moving to a new town where she didn’t know anyone, to start her first year of law school, an experience that can be not only challenging but also isolating. Turns out, they didn’t need to worry.
"We are a small law school, and the only one in Rhode Island, but we are punching above our weight in the diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging space," Nicole Dyszlewski said.
RWU Law will use gift to launch campaign about the school’s public impact and creating changemakers in law.
