Visit to Widener Law
As can be seen in the above slideshow, this past Saturday, May 2, I visited Widener Law School’s Pennsylvania campus in Harrisburg.
I was recently accepted to Widener’s PA campus and wanted to get a sense of the school. Unfortunately, there are no tours available on weekends, but my mother and I wanted to wander around a bit to see the facilities, and also to visit Harrisburg.
Below is some more information about the school and our trip.

Workplace etiquette
When I read the headline, “10 Surefire Ways to Tick Off Your Co-workers,” my first reaction was to wonder who would want to do that.
MSN Careers with CareerBuilder.com posted the article online to give tips on what not to do when trying to impress at the workplace, like answering your cell phone during a meeting or skirting around the office dress code (I know I’ve been guilty of the latter one at least once).

Internships matter
Today, for my weekly op-ed column in Rowan University’s student newspaper The Whit, was my interview with Harold Thompson, assistant director of Rowan’s Career and Academic Planning Center (CAP center).

Thompson offered advice on resume-building and job search strategies, but one of his biggest emphases was placed on the importance of internships.
