Convocation | A Welcome to Dickinson Law

We welcomed the Class of 2025 to Penn State Dickinson Law this week with a series of events culminating in a convocation ceremony in the law school’s beautiful Apfelbaum Family Courtroom & Auditorium. Dean Danielle Conway set the tone for their next three years, and hopefully longer, by emphasizing their solemn responsibility to defend the Constitution, promote the rule of law and protect the vulnerable among us.

Associate Dean of Experiential Learning, Mae Quinn and I co-hosted students over lunch. We enjoyed hearing about their aspirations at law school and beyond, shared our thoughts on navigating their 1L year, and encouraged them to look beyond grades in finding their areas of passion in the law. Looking forward to seeing their budding careers blossom in the years ahead.
