How Are We? Exploring Data on UMN Law Student Well-Being
Thursday, April 25th 12:15 - 1:15; Room 65
Last fall, the ABA released a report detailing a ""parade of difficulties"" associated with our profession. The report urged leaders in the field to make a change. Here at Mondale, the Well-Being Initiative (WBI) is acting on that report by measuring and improving well-being in our law school community.
On April 25th, we will present the data collected from this semester's survey, and we invite all members of the law school community to share their reactions to the data, and to join us for a discussion on the biggest challenges and opportunities for improving law student well-being!
