Student Ambassador Committee
The Student Ambassador Committee is a leadership opportunity for law students dedicated to serving and representing the Southern University Law Center. Student Ambassadors provide tours, serve as SULC representatives, and attend several admission and recruitment events across the nation. Learn more about this year’s committee members below.
Legal Pals Program
All incoming students have the exciting opportunity to participate in the Legal Pals Program. Legal Pals is a mentorship and networking initiative that pairs incoming law students with current Student Ambassadors (mentors). Mentors may provide support and guidance when navigating the unique challenges confronting incoming law students; and serve in an advisory capacity as incoming students adjust to the newfound expectations of #LawyerLeaders at SULC. Participation in this program is not mandatory and is solely based on a voluntary election of participation. This program is only available to incoming first year students at the Law Center and runs June - September. Click below to opt-in and sign-up for your Legal Pal today!
