Shannon Garcia

 

Personal Statement:
I loved my admissions process as an incoming student. I really felt that Lewis & Clark, more than any other school, put in a lot of effort to evaluate the whole person. I am grateful for that process and that I have found my home at this school. I am committed to the continued focus on the whole student and am eager to extend well-deserved invitations to people who will be a good fit with our values and culture.

Goals:
I would like to have greater transparency around the admissions process, soliciting opinions from the student body at large to see what our student body values from an incoming class in regard to: values, social awareness, etc….

Personal Statement:

As someone with diverse academic, employment and volunteer experiences, I found that in reviewing my application, Lewis & Clark truly assessed my application as a whole.  While traditional qualifications such as LSAT scores and GPAs are important considerations, I believe that they do not define an individual or determine that individual’s success in law school and beyond. I hope to help our school continue its trend of looking beyond numbers and admitting diverse, intelligent students with goals and values aligning with that of Lewis & Clark.

 

Goals:

I hope to help create an outstanding student body at Lewis & Clark by seriously and diligently reviewing applications and making sound recommendations so that we admit well-rounded, diverse, and talented students into our incoming class.
