2018 Dean's Fellows



UDSL sets itself apart because of its strong sense of community and support. The Dean's Fellows play an integral role in helping students feel acclimated and a part of the UDSL community. The Dean's Fellows were pivotal in my success. I owe a lot to them for their guidance, support, and leadership, and I am excited about the opportunity to do the same for the incoming class by sharing my experience as a first-year.






The primary reason I want to be a Dean's Fellow is that I enjoy being part of the successes of others. Everyone comes to law school with ambitious visions for how they plan to change the world for the better, and I believe the University of Dayton School of Law should do everything within its power to encourage and facilitate those dreams. I am particularly excited about the prospect of connecting with first-year students to hear what they envision for their careers.

I am excited about the prospect of becoming a Dean's Fellow because no one should have to reinvent the wheel. As a Dean's Fellow, I will help my 1Ls not have to do so. UD law students are worth the time and effort of making PowerPoints, lunch appointments, and approaching the program with a real servant's heart because lawyers are vitally important to society.

I am excited to become a Dean's Fellow because it will allow me to transform new students from having an intimidating perspective of law school to a position where students will succeed academically but still gain the best experience from their time at UDSL. I look forward to working with 1Ls because I believe that having a solid support system allows students to reach their academic goals, handle the stress of law school, and maintain a healthy, positive attitude.

The Paul McGreal Fellow
I hope to instill confidence and clarity in the incoming students. Engaging with others is my forte. Being a 1L is a turbulent time, but exhilarating in every facet. Most of this turbulence derives from the mystique that law school cascades upon incoming students. In my opinion, incoming students need a steady hand to guide them through the process. My goal is to use my compassion and energy to nurture these new students at the start of their law school career.
