Bowen students Daina Rodriguez and Madison Pitts were two of only 50 female law students selected to attend.
鈥淢eeting female law students who are doing great things in their law school and community was a privilege,鈥� Pitts said. 鈥淒aina and I are honored to have been included in the group.鈥�
Academy speakers included professionals at the top of their fields in law, business, and marketing. The students learned the economic advantages to a diverse workplace, including an increase in production, more creativity, and even a larger bottom line.
鈥淲e should not look at gender, race, sexual orientation, etc. as marks against us when we are out in the workforce,鈥� Pitts said. 鈥淩ather, we should look at such qualities as assets; not only to ourselves but to our future employers.鈥�
The purpose of the leadership academy is to enhance applicants鈥� national law school network, equip them with tools necessary for professional development, and provide them with new opportunities.
鈥淚n speaking with other students, we learned that not every school puts a value on this professional development,鈥� Rodriguez said. 鈥淢adison and I are proud to be Bowen students and honored to have had this opportunity.鈥�
