My favorite thing about teaching at Columbia
College is seeing students grow as scholars
and individuals.
I keep in touch with a lot of my former students
and it’s rewarding to see them become successful
lawyers, successful jobs in governments, public
life.
In a small school like this you really get
to know your students.
I see my majors in several classes through
their careers.
You really get to know them as people so when
they graduate I can write strong letters of
recommendation because we’ve developed a
personal relationship.
And then keeping in touching with them after
they’ve left, that really makes me feel
good to see their successes.
We’ve been really proud of our successful
placement in law school.
In recent years at Columbia College, we have
a student who’s now in her second year at
Harvard Law School, another one of our students
who’s a recent graduate, went to University
of Missouri Kansas City Law School and after
graduation, along with some classmates, started
her own firm.
A lot of those students have since reconnected
with the college and become part of our mentor
program for students planning to attend law
school.
I think a student should major in political
science at Columbia College because you will
be challenged to think, write, speak analytically.
We have small classes with engaged, passionate
faculty who will share their excitement for
political science with you.
