First Week: Your First Step at Bowen
First Week is a required program for all incoming Bowen Law students and the beginning of the Bowen Student Success Program.
During First Week, you’ll attend your first classes, meet faculty and classmates, connect with your Student Success Team and Bowen Fellow mentor, and learn the skills, strategies, and resources that support success in law school.
More than an orientation, First Week is your introduction to the Bowen community and your first step toward becoming a practice-ready lawyer.
