...and to think we met through an ODE PERSONAL
Students launch center
for upper-degree advice
Neither the University library
nor the business school itself
had much information on busi
ness graduate schools, Chow
says
When Tracy Lawrence tried to
get information about law
schools, she was similarly dis
appointed.
"What I've found is that most
pre-law services apply to the
University Law School, rather
than law schools in general,"
Lawrence says
So Lawrence and Chow
decided to do something about
the dearth of graduate school
information by organizing the
MBA and Law School informa
tion center in Room 164 of
Oregon Hall
After receiving approval from
the academic advising office,
Lawrence and Chow set out to
build a comprehensive'file of
about the schools
Lawrence sent letters to 167
accredited law schools, which
accounts tor all the law schools
in the United States and Can
ada, she says Another aim is to
provide material on pre-law
education, Lawrence says
Funding tor the information
center has come from Phi Eta
Sigma and Alpha Lamda Delta,
two freshman honorary groups
that Chow and Lawrence were
involved with last year Law
rence says the center was an
outgrowth of their involvement
in the honoraries
The information center will be
compatible with both the busi
ness and law schools and are
not intended to replace advising
services they offer
The business school does
have some brochures and ad
vises students, says Larry Ri
The center offers students
law school and MBA information.
information on graduate pro
grams in law and in business
administration
The center s purpose is to
give interested students
information to help them find
the right graduate program
Files are kept on graduate pro
grams nationwide in both law
and business administration, in
addition to records of a school's
mean graduate admission
scores, grade point average,
and other pertinent information
Chow says he began to think
about organizing an information
center last summer while pon
dering his own graduation Dur
ing fall term, both Lawrence and
Chow were busy sending letters
to schools throughout the
country asking for catalogs and
other information They also
designed a survey form to
gather specific information

"Once a student has direc
tion, we can provide the most
help because we've got the
faculty," Richards says
Lawrence says she hopes the
center can become a student
organization and eventually
receive funding through the In
cidental Fee Committee
Also in the works are plans to
find area professionals to speak
to students about the law as a
profession, all in an effort to
make the center a place for
‘ practical experience." Law
rence says
Chow says that before writing
to a graduate school, students
should check the file at the in
formation center
To check out materials, a
student should present a
University identification card
All center materials are restrict
ed to the academic advising
office
Office hours for the center are
10-12 a m. and 2-4 pm , Mon
day through Friday Interested
students can phone the
academic advising office at
