I love the start of a new school year. In my school days, each new semester represented a clean slate and a chance to do everything better - to study more, to make more friends, to stay more organized, to participate more in school events. Today, as I watch our students returning for the new semester, the energy saturates the air and I am filled with optimism once again.
A new school year always represents a fresh start, but this has never been truer for us here at Fordham than it is this year, when we welcome students into our brand new Fordham Law School building. And this year, we also have some exciting changes to the Graduate Professional Development Program that I want to call to your attention.
First, please check out our brand new website for current students at law.fordham.edu/llm/gpdp (click on "Current Students"). The new website is more task oriented and I think you'll find it much easier to navigate.
Second, you will find that our efforts are being redirected away from large scale programming in favor of a more robust website and more advising one-on-one and in small groups. Our new GPDP Job Search Strategy Groups, open to current students, provide a forum for students to discuss various aspects of the job search and to keep each other motivated throughout the semester and the year.
I hope that as you all begin this new year, you are feeling inspired, optimistic, and ready to jump into your studies and your professional development. I encourage you to delve into your job search early and energetically - we're here to support you!
