Did you know there are dedicated Pathway to Law School Counselors?
Indeed there are, and their names are Jeanell Parayno and Michelle MacIntyre; they have set aside and designated certain hours each day (Monday-Friday) specifically for PTLS students. If you are a prospective or current PTLS student who needs to meet with a counselor, please
contact the Career Center to schedule an
appointment with Jeanell Parayno or Michelle MacIntyre (they
have to let the front desk know they are a PTLS student).
