Tell Us About Your First Half of the Semester!
For most students at the Law School, we are halfway through our first semester of completely on-site, in-person instruction. We should all take a minute (at least) to be proud of getting to this point!
It's also an opportunity to reflect on what UMN Law has done and can do to promote student well-being. So, we created this anonymous survey/suggestion box where students can share their experiences, both what you would like to see more of and what you think is harmful to the Law School culture.
Our goal is to take your concerns and suggestions and push for change that will create a more welcoming and empathetic environment. Thank you for your support!
Advice Column
Any questions, concerns, or topics that you’d like some advice on, feel free to submit them here! You’ll get real advice, and maybe some memes for your situation.
Resources
WBI has created a Resources Page on our website where law students can always go to find support.
